Blackwater working on air-droppable Guitar Hero rigs for troops in Afghanistan

Blackwater recruiter James Overton is working on a kit that contains an Xbox 360, Guitar Hero and a projector, to drop from Blackwater cargo planes for troops in Afghanistan.

“When I was in Baghdad, we’d bring soldiers over to our camp over there, and we’d play this thing for hours on end,” Overton said. “Every (military) place I’ve ever been to overseas, they’ve got like backgammon and Parcheesi and chess, and they’re all gathering dust. But this is the stuff they play at home. And any semblance of home we can give them is best.”
