re: "Progressive twit beclowns himself"

Uncle Jimbo at Blackfive takes a journalist to the woodshed.

Money quote(s):

"A resident fellow traveler at The American Prospect manages to attempt an Uncle J style snarky beat down about security contractors. Unsurprisingly he manages to include zero facts, his assumptions are all literally wrong and even his snarky comments are false and not even funny."

"I will let his voluminous knowedge of military and security affairs speak (silently) for itself, and simply squash his weaselly commentary. This may pass for clever among the pantywaists he represents, but c'mon this is the reality-based community little fella. We deal with real bad guys and real bullets here, although I'm sure you kick ass at Halo while being blissfully ignorant of what HALO even means."

"The idea that you would consider security contractor a euphemism for mercenary shows immediately your lack of serious knowledge or interest in the topic at hand."

"Since the most dangerous situation you have likely found your punk ass in is a slap fight at a frat house, I will deny your attempt to judge the professionalism of your betters. You so blithely discount the fact that no one Blackwater was protecting in the most dangerous area on Earth has been killed"

"(T)he type of specialized security Blackwater does is something only a tiny handful of military folks do. Mostly because it is not their job to be bullet sponges for diplomatic weenies. Their job is to make dead tangos"
