The fact you called them Blackwater (haven’t gone by that name since 2009) and posit that they’re more capable than the US military is farcical.
Blackwater was so dogged by scandal after scandal they change to ‘Xe’, then ‘Academi’, before being bought out by a real Private Security company - TripleCanopy.
And former SF pipe hitters in the ranks of PMCs or not, it’s the logistics and intelligence capabilities of the US military that enables them to be so lethal, which PMCs significantly lack.
