Iraq-Mercenaries

I used to work for Blackwater USA (Transit K Division).

Their man power & "military equipment" division is nothing compared to their "Intelligence/Surveillance/Information systems" division. Their IT is deeply embedded their Lexxis-Nexxis and many other tracking systems. This is pretty scary.

I'm actually serious.

I spent 18 months supervising their 384 nodes Teradata system implementation. 384 nodes = twice the processing power of Walmart's Enterprise Data warehouse, about 1/6 of NORAD's Teradata system (nobody knows really about Norad's but there's invoices left and right ). That's roughly 64 terabyte with failover.

Are you calling me out?

I believe you...

I believe you...

btw, "Transit K" stood for "any realtime information that can trace a location or a transactional behavior". K = knowledge and "Transit" = "event" or "exchange"

You should've seen the conservative/creationist turd who started that project.

Made the musclemissions.org freak look like a cool dude.

Sure why not..he was a computer contractor he didn't say he was kicking doors and wearing cool sunglasses. Blackwater has a ton of money so i'm sure they are trying to create the same capability the Military has, but on a smaller level.

Well looks like they want some fast movers simply because they don't want to wait for clearance from the US military when they need a jdam, I can see massive Friendly fire or collateral damage on the horizon... personally I would feel seriously unsafe as a Coalition Soldier if I knew that Mercenaries had Airpower.

Well....They don't want their asses hanging out if Uncle Sam can't or won't respond. This is more so for when they go outside OIF/OEF areas. The big companies are going to come looking for these guys as they branch out.
