The company formally known as Blackwater is helping provide security training in Brazil in the run up to the 2014 World Cup, stoking fears that the ‘pacification’ of the country’s slums is very much an Iraq-style military occupation. According to the daily Folha D. S. Paulo, Blackwater, renamed "Xe Services" in 2009 and "Academi" in 2011, has been instructing Brazilian security forces at one of its private training facilities in North Carolina.
That article was rubbish.

Your statement is so substantial, I hardly know where to begin.
Sorry. I have first hand experience from 2002 - 2007 (Bco 3/75), but can't really comment on the recent years that the article covers.
Poland is the latest destination for America's secret war. 600 soldiers (including a few dozen special ops troops) shipped in 2-3 days ago. Officially, it is to counter the Russian movies in Ukraine.

Although precise figures were not provided, it is well known that the U.S. military has been struggling with suicides for a long time. In 2012, the estimated 350 active duty servicemen and servicewomen across the American armed forces that committed suicide surpassed the number lost in combat.

It's pretty scary what we "feed" the kids these days.

Your tax Dollars hard at work....all over the world.
Are the expenses included within the $5 billion package which was sanctioned by Nuland? It is getting more and more expensive for America to wage war on other nations, isn't it?
I never understood that, even with 9/11. Why go after the US citizens? Why not hit the government who is responsible for it all?
Because the US attacks their rival citizens, and not the rival governments. Take the case of Russia for example.
After US invaded Afghanistan in 2001, they legalized the production of Opium poppy in Central and South Afghanistan. Then they helped the smugglers in exporting the hash and heroin to Iran and Russia, so that the young generation in those countries become hooked to the drugs. Afghan drugs have killed millions of young Russians. In Iran also, hundreds of thousands of young people have died.
So, if I were the Russian president, and if my armed forces were as powerful as the American ones, I'll be definitely targeting the American civilian population. Tit for tat.
Aren't US drone operators part of "we, the people"? When there was some poll asking if Iraq should be invaded, wasn't it "we the people" that voted yes?
At this stage, if SHTF in USA, I barely care.

too expensive, USA can't afford spending so much money on the military anymore..
May be. The Iraq war cost them more than 1 trillion USD. That alone forms a significant part of the total national debt of the US ($ 17 trillion). Add the expenses from other wars (Kosovo, Syria, Afghanistan.etc), and we can see that war expenses account for a large part of the US national debt.

the question is how high price to put on peace?
but as this isn't really making peace, simply save money

Most of the people in the USA are undereducated and believe the nightly news is real......sorry.
We need hope based on reality, and our starting point is not good.
I honestly don't like your rhetoric, but even being from an US vassal allied country, I see your point. Even in Western Europe countries that lived with Soviet nukes pointed at their heads, the patience is running out.
Most of the people in Western Europe can differentiate the truth from media propaganda. For example, check the public reaction to the recent Ukraine events.

Unfortunately, the American public seems to be easily brainwashed by the media propaganda. Iraq, Kosovo, Ukraine.etc are just a few examples.
Just look at how they lined up to see the Savior Obama in 2008.
