    Jesus Christ that whole story and especially the video was disconcerting. Them opening fire on the civilians down the street for no apparent reason was absolute insanity too. And the fact they also have tons of pictures of this merc group just hanging out and posing for photos (and Golan openly talking about the "missions" to buzzfeed) also bothers me immensely as well since they clearly feel secure enough in their positions that there is no real need for secrecy in what they are/were doing.

    This is one facet of the fallout for being in several poorly managed wars for almost two decades. Especially with the turn by President Obama towards a more Special-Forces-focused model, there are tens of thousands of extremely highly trained killing machines, some (or all?) of whom are of questionable moral character. These people and the mercenary companies that employ them, are going to murder innocent people at the behest of tyrants and corporations for decades.
