SUBJECT: WACKEN NAZI'S FILE: UFO2949 (5085) Wed 9 Jun 93 6:23 By: Steve Jones To: All Re: WackenNAZI's ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greetings to All- There has been alot said about the Wackenhut Security forces that are used to guard such highly secure facilities as the Nevada Test Site, and I would like to take some time to clarify the reasons for some of the often out-spoken comments on these people. I would like to also clearly differentiate these people philosophically from the thousands of dedicated Americans who have fought for and or have lost their lives to protect the Freedoms that we as Americans take so much for granted. Soldiers, whether they are fighting in officially sanctioned conflicts, covert operations directed by duly authorized governing bodies (be it Congress, the office of the President, the United Nations, or the multitude of other majority recognized governing authorities), humanitarian operations, privatized security operations, or philosophically motivated private covert operations, are driven, for the most part by their own morals, ethics and motives. Even in extreme situations, i.e., a single mercentary who is on a mission by directive, has his own sense of ethics (which at times differs dramatically from those of the society at large). The key question regarding the utilization Wackenhut Security, versus the Marines for example, or better yet a Multi-Departmental Officially Sanctioned Force, is this issue of philosophical underpinnings. I, for one, consider it to be highly dangerous to the sanctity of this Union to utilize a private security force that does not represent a cross-section of philosophical beliefs in this country. It is this factor that adds to the strength of the moral fabric of the traditional military that this country has had throughout it's history. Many people site the historical example of the armies of the National Socialists during and preceeding World War II. There was a whole lot of difference in those days dealing with troops of say a Panzer Division (who were alot like those of our armour divisions) than dealing with the Death's Head SS, who were Hitler's zealots. The key question here is why have thes jobs been given to private security forces in the first place. To me the answer lies in who is actually in control of these facilities, the government or certain factions in the private sector. This gives rise to some very serious ethical and moral questions of the missions involved and that, I feel, is the reason for the outcry so often heard here.
