Interesting, Canadian troops get new toy:
The U.S. military, which designates the vehicle as the RG-31 ‘Charger’, has 148 units on order. Other nations and organizations that use the RG-31 include Columbia, Rwanda, South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United Nations, and the infamous private military contractor Blackwater USA.
Hmm…. Columbia, Rwanda, S Africa, UK, UN, and… a PMC. I certainly don’t agree with the word "infamous" here, but it is interesting to put Blackwater on this list. Are they the only private enterprise to employ these vehicles? Certainly Blackwater is becoming more like a national military (it has stuff even the UN doesn’t: war memorial, air support, blimps, parachute team, etc), but to be included on this list?
