Academi (former Blackwater), Triple Canopy and 5 other companies merge.

Not wrong about this being huge and a very interesting development.
So the US is pulling their guys out of theatre and will be replacing them with what is a cheaper option?
Eg- Obama went back on his election promise (2009) of getting out of Afghan and instead commited 30,000 blokes it cost the US taxpayer $30bn which equated to $1m per bloke for a 12month tour.
Obama faces domestic battle on war costs - FT.com
This will work out a lot cheaper in the short run and knowing the Americans they won't really give a shit when it comes back to bite them on the arse either.
No doubt this will be mainstream news soon (hopefully).
I really thought this was the stuff of computer games and would never legally be allowed to happen, how wrong I was.

Not pulling out of the Ghan is a good thing because it will not take long for the country to fall again and return to its old ways now that ISIS has shown how easy it is in Iraq. Then the two cancers would merge and spread through out Iran and that would leave the western world to worry about a massive space (Syria, Iraq, Iran and the Ghan) to sort out.

Now knowing DeYonker personally this is the wrong force of men NATO would want on the ground if a cancer took over those four countries.
