Second verse, same as the first

August Cole writes in the Wall Street Journal:
Four U.S. contractors affiliated with the company formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide fired on an approaching civilian vehicle in Kabul earlier this month, wounding at least two Afghan civilians, according to the company and the U.S. military.

The off-duty contractors were involved in a car accident around 9 p.m. on May 5 and fired on the approaching vehicle they believed to be a threat, according to the U.S. military. At least some of the men, who were former military personnel, had been drinking alcohol that evening, according to a person familiar with the incident. Off-duty contractors aren't supposed to carry weapons or drink alcohol.
Blackwater by any name doesn't do what they're supposed to ... or at least what we suppose they're supposed to ... do they?

Again, tell me why going to war with contract personnel is a good idea.
