" How to break a man's arm with your bare hands."

Blackwater: Inside America's Private Army

Today's after-lunch lesson: How to break a man's arm with your bare hands.

The students pay close attention. On a patch of grass under a powder-blue sky, they pair off to practice the moves - like the steps to some merciless dance:

-snip-

These men are not soldiers, at least not anymore. All have military experience, but in order to join a new breed of warriors - private security contractors - they must pass this eight-week, $20,000 course.

-snip-

Just a half-hour's drive from downtown Norfolk,

-snip-

Only the authorized get past the gate. A buzz-cut guard sees to that, a handgun strapped to his thigh. Inside, a winding road leads to the heart of the 7,000-acre compound - a bigger spread than any military base in South Hampton Roads.

a perfect place for sadists

the neo con murderous, criminal bushmilhousegang loves it and pours money into Blackwater in the form of govt. contracts

2. Sadly, we have mercenaries by the thousnds in Iraq
Privatizing armies removes the horror of war that much more from the every day American.
remember the mercenary video of the car toolin' down the Iraqi road, Elvis playing in the background and the "Blackwater-type" mercenaries machine-gunning civilians.
Did you know that Bush exempted mercenaries from lawsuits?

But I MUST say, if one is working executive protection or even as an extension of an army, if you have a one-on-one battle going on hand to hand, you'd better know how to snap an arm or you may lose that fight and you will serve no good if you are dead.

It is not that hard to break an arm, just a matter of joint manipulation and using their body weight and momentum against them.

5. Wasn't it a Blackwater mercenary.......
who was randomly shooting at civilians in their vehicles in Iraq as though he was playing a video game? There was video of it on the internet, though I don't know about it's authenticity.
