Nation States Issues : Selling NATIONSNAME Down The River?

Selling NATIONSNAME Down The River?

Blueriver, a private security company hired by NATIONSNAME during foreign interventions, made headlines when footage emerged of their mercenaries grotesquely torturing prisoners. Shocked and appalled, civil rights activists from around the world are calling on NATIONSNAME to do something.

I’ve encountered with many choices

1. “Why did NATIONSNAME feel the need to hire mercenary groups like Blueriver in the first place?” rhetorically questions Alejandro Smith, a jaded veteran of the Wezeltonian War. “The answer is clear: the army uses hired guns to cover up the body count of shady foreign interventions. Such dishonorable conduct sickens me. It’s about time the military was open and honest about its actions. Only our brave soldiers should engage in conflicts, not amoral sell-swords who are notorious for looting.”

2. “That’s naive,” frankly states the CEO of Blueriver, Kate Venkman, who would only talk with you behind closed doors. “The reason the military hires my … operatives in the first place is plausible deniability. NATIONSNAME’s armed forces were clearly not involved in this breach of human rights. No harm done, eh? Release a short statement criticizing the atrocities, and then start a long, drawn-out ‘investigation’. People will forget all this happened in no time. Then we can get back to doing what we do best. Just don’t ask too many questions as to what that might be.”

3. “Sir, if we didn’t have quite so many of these pesky ‘human rights’ laws to follow in the first place, we wouldn’t be in this mess,” suggests Norman Poindexter, an army lifer. “Don’t even get me started on the Genièvre Convention. Terrorists spit upon all the values of civilized society, and yet some people want to prevent us from using all possible methods to stop these monsters. Give my boys the freedoms they need to get the job done, and we won’t need to hire those contractor goons so often.”

4. “Hah!” interjects Billy-Bob Bush, head of Medicine not Machineguns, a humanitarian aid charity. “And just why is Blueriver finding so much work overseas? It might just be because half of our neighbors have been carpet-bombed into the stone age by us at some point or another. Maybe we should consider sending aid operatives instead? Building up a bit of goodwill would mean we wouldn’t have to deploy shocktroopers all the time.”
