All you aspiring soldiers of fortune out there, here’s a great opportunity for you! Work your way up at one of the most exciting and (in)famous companies profiting from the "War on Terror"… Blackwater USA. Um, slight clarification: both the war and the company have recently changed names. But that just means you can impress your friends by telling them you have just taken on an exciting job in the "Overseas Contingency Operation" to work for "Xe Services/US Training Center." The mystique of that phrase alone will shock and awe your pals.

For those of you with actual military experience, there are exciting "contracting" opportunities such as Designated Defensive Marksman, Special Programs Mobile Security or Intelligence Analyst.

If you feel more comfortable stateside, perhaps you want to take advantage of the incredible array of jobs–more than 35!– in such locations as Blackwater’s facilities in Moyock, North Carolina, Mt. Carroll, Illinois or San Diego, California. At a time when many employers are laying off workers, Blackwater appears to have vacancies in practically every position. It is unclear if these exciting employment opportunities stem in any way from the indictments on federal weapons charges of former Blackwater President Gary Jackson and four other former Blackwater officials, but there are plenty of jobs listed here.

They range from kitchen attendants, housekeepers and retail sales clerks to Director of Logistics, Sr. Analyst Import/Export Operations & Compliance,  Risk Management-Claims Administrator, Corporate Recruiter and legal counsel.

Time is running out to have your gift matched 

In this time of unrelenting, often unprecedented cruelty and lawlessness, I’m grateful for Nation readers like you. 

So many of you have taken to the streets, organized in your neighborhood and with your union, and showed up at the ballot box to vote for progressive candidates. You’re proving that it is possible—to paraphrase the legendary Patti Smith—to redeem the work of the fools running our government.

And as we head into 2026, I promise that The Nation will fight like never before for justice, humanity, and dignity in these United States. 

At a time when most news organizations are either cutting budgets or cozying up to Trump by bringing in right-wing propagandists, The Nation’s writers, editors, copy editors, fact-checkers, and illustrators confront head-on the administration’s deadly abuses of power, blatant corruption, and deconstruction of both government and civil society. 

We couldn’t do this crucial work without you.

Through the end of the year, a generous donor is matching all donations to The Nation’s independent journalism up to $75,000. But the end of the year is now only days away. 

Time is running out to have your gift doubled. Don’t wait—donate now to ensure that our newsroom has the full $150,000 to start the new year. 

Another world really is possible. Together, we can and will win it!

Love and Solidarity,

John Nichols 

Executive Editor, The Nation
