Quote:I'm going to emphasize the "we gave the Benitez family something in return". Corsairs are enemies of Liberty, in the context of your RL analogy, that's like this:
Mercs go up to US employment office. People notice the AK-47s. People ask "Who'd you buy those from?" Mercs answer "Al-Queda". "So, you gave money to Al-Queda." "Yeah."
Hopefully I don't need to go further with this line of reasoning.
Since you are so keen on real life examples. Go to a Knife and Gun show in the US and see if there are any AK-47's on sale there. They even tell you how to convert them to make then automatic with a little filing (illegal as fully automatic weapons can not be sold to civilians).
As long as NRA is in action in US, this will continue to happen. God bless America.
Also the Black Water operatives currently in IRAQ are not stopped at each check point to see what guns they are using to defend your interests.
