if that's the case, why are people taking early retirement from the CIA because the're fed up with the burecratic BS? Those are the people they are already loosing, that the Stonycreek would be focusing on recruiting after making sure that they would be out for doing the right thing, and not out just for a quick buck.
And for those who like to say, they don't exist... thank you for saying I don't exist. I volunteered for the Armed Forces out of a love of my country. Not out of a sense of 'What can I get' out of the armed forces. And i wasn't alone. and there are more people like that than you can imaigne. Do they get a paycheck? yes, they do. They might not be getting the same amount they'd be getting by working for a Private Military Inteligence Company. But they get enough to cover their needs and many of their wants.
People on this list making complaints without offering constructive critism aren't looking at the fact i stated this wasn't for Twilight 2000.. it was for something that would be happening in a world like our own, full of threats that to many people are ignoring.
Stonycreek would be a group that the PCs would be working for in the Flashpoints or Brushfire Wars setting that i was creating. Based on something that COULD exist. Because I've seen Private Military Intelligence Contractor Companies and Private Military Contractor Companies coming into existance, namely due to the reasons that i've stated.
That there is so much redtape and bullsht that is keeping them from being the most effiecent and capable Sheepdogs to protect all of us from the Wolves nipping at our heels seeking out the weakest in the flock to rip into, that veteran CIA operatives, veteran Special Warfare Operatives and even veteran FBI agents are retiring early because they are so fed up with the fact that the burecrats are more concerned with covering their own asses than doing their job... PROTECTING the people of this country and our allies.
Don't believe me? that's fine. But it's the truth. It's happening, and my idea of Stonycreek would work for what i've created it for.
