During the early periods of the invasion in Iraq Blackwater had very strict limits on who they hired. It required very specific military fields and a set amount of time in specific unit types. Most of the guys hired early on were former Marine Recon and Navy SEALs.
One of the guys hung off a bridge after being burned in Fallujah was one of the youngest people to ever become a Navy SEAL.
If you dislike the civilian contractors that's fine, but I'd suggest that if you think they are a bunch of useless wimps you might want to check out where most of them come from. The majority come from the ranks of the military special ops community. Granted they are getting paid well, but they don't have a contract or most of the benefits the active duty guys have either.
