I actually wrote this for my Detroit News guest blog, but it set off the censor-meter and wouldn't post the whole thing so I'm posting it here in it's entirety and pointing to it from there instead.

Since the Insta-Pundit insists on keeping this story alive, I'm weighing in on his "Kos Kontroversy".

Kos may have said it badly, but he was right about this part. Those men were there by choice, knowing full well what they were facing. No one lied to get them to enlist and they made more in one day than the reservist, who was told he would get an education for a few weekends of training exercises a year, did in a month.

In contrast, the four men who died so horribly applied for this job.

You are assessed in the field by the BSC leadership and at initial training by staff. If you do not appear to be a team player or have attitude problems, we will terminate the process. Quiet professionals are what we seek as long term partners in this work.

Blackwater Security Consultants is focused on moving forward in the market with the best human resources who will receive a market setting standard for fair pay.

If this sounds acceptable to you and is the type of work you seek, then submit your resume today.

The title of this post also comes from that site. It sounds pretty clear to me and I think Glenn Reynolds should post the family history of every man lost in this war so far, as he did for these four high paid soldiers-of-fortune before he starts throwing any more stones.
