Pretty much! Blackwater has that reputation due to a series of nasty events they were involved in.

For myself, I'm mostly against the concept of mercenaries in the first place. These guys are accountable to a contract, not a constitution.

edit: And there's a many-century history of mercenary use throughout the world, and they have a trend towards being shady, unreliable, and untrustworthy.
