I was listening to a discussion on a talking head show with some military experts as they were discussing America's draw down from Iraq in 2006. One of them made the point that the best way to improve our progress with the "hearts and minds" in Iraq would be to draw down the number of civilian mercenaries like Hawkmoon. The guy said that the Iraqis HATE them with a passion, even those Iraqis that are our allies. According to this ex-general, they represent the absolute worst of American militaristic capitalism, and just by being there and doing what they do they set America's mission back and destroy any good will we might achieve.
