Blackwater vs Wagner would make a AAA boxoffice game
-
Only Dutch knows what really happened in blackwater
-
When I join The Navy as a Master At Arms back in 2005, it was this PMC that trained us in Law Enforcement defense techniques and Fire Arms. Crazy looking back now.

Dude, Simon, your editors seriously need to stop with the AI generated images and the blatant typos that could be fixed with simple revision. You're a highly successful multi-channel youtuber, this is getting worse week by week.
-
“Ok AI do you know what a gun looks like?” “Yes of course” (Generates a painted nerf gun with random pipes on it)
-
They were named after the black water surrounding their first swamp-base? That's some straight up Metal Gear Solid stuff damn
-
This how you know we love simon🤣 we all point out his add shucking, bad thumbnails & poor audio quality but still come every video
-
The only Blackwater on my mind is the town where Dutch kept all the money….
-
I don't know where that thumbnail came from, but those are not Blackwater PMCs.

I think it's too keep in mind that at this time regular soldiers were under orders that if ANY vehicle failed to stop at a checkpoint they were to open fire until the vehicle stops moving By the END of my deployment in 2005 that order was changed to verbal warning, warning shot, then shoot to kill. So any claims that blackwater members "opened fire" on vehicles failing to stop I always assume they were following orders from all the way up
-
The AI generated thumbnail and the typo looks so funny bro. EDIT: Some of y'all are taking me pointing it out way too seriously lol. I just thought it looked silly.
-
Why the AI thumbnail? Couldn't you just use a pic of Blackwater Personel on Google with a filter and some words slapped on top of it?

Trained at the Blackwater facility in 2009 in basic LE sniping (I’m a veteran and full time police officer). Fantastic experience; great instructors; one former Canadian Special Forces sniper, one former Phoenix PD sniper, and a US Army special forces sniper. Ranges were well designed and run and the curriculum for a 5 day course was excellent. By the end we were hitting targets out to 1000 yards.
-
You misspelled happened in the thumbnail.
-
Spent more time than I should have trying to figure out what guns were being held in the thumbnail lol
-
Back in the late 2000's I got a job rebuilding AS 330 helicopters for Black Water. They poured millions on their airtransport division. They even had two Super Tucanos. 😮
-
Please, there are open source images for this one.

Anyone calling New Orleans "laid back and safe" have clearly never really visited or lived there. Yes, there are plenty of cool tourist traps there, but wander off the path, and you'll see what the city is really like.
