If I was an average soldier, or especially, a National Guardsman. I would be pretty pissed off to know I am risking my life there involuntarially for around 8-9 k a year when these guys are being paid by our government the same amount in just one week.
Uh,

Those guys are former soldiers who have already paid their dues.

So long as they aren't breaking any laws in their activities, I don't have a problem with them.

And most of the Blackwater guys are contracting with private companies.
