Hmmm....well when you put it like that...a mercenary looking for a legitimate status, and a job that involves shooting back.
Still, im puzzled: if these guys are armed, and used to provide protection for contract workers in Iraq, how come none of them took any iraqis with them when they were ambushed? Did they get hit that quickly?
I mean, if they are ex soldiers...well, we are taught to read the signs..and walk away or get ready to rumble. Must not have been first line security guards.
