They are also lying about him never being a mercenary. In the very wikipedia article he cites it says he worked for Constellis, which inherited blackwater's contracted when they dissolved, then reformed, basically working for blackwater under a different name.
They also claim they are watching his campaign closely, yet their only refutation cited is a wikipedia article, which actually backs my claims. These people are so weird defending this guy.
EDIT - Oh it seems this conversation was too much and it has been removed from the original post. Cowards.
