Its like any other thing in the Global Finance its just the military trade. Contractors dont like her time around. Why did i do to go to. The missing young government expects the iraqi troop and was considered a good deal. Not be our coyer on the. 30 years.

In a bathing tool for evil and i will too. This is a traditional if you dont know fight with a stick from the spear with arrows thats the tradition if you are trying to simulate miss me disoriented them say well it could im sure but that isnt the case some may be critical of people who used to be fighting when they were very young that they all go to war you do think thats a problem not thats not our problem under from is yes that must have shown before take its not from an abscess yes it must have. And even if they had started when they would fulfilled or theyre not 13 but thats not a problem wasnt a problem just as the job as they are here is carrying. The sand guides us with facets and they got the school fees training. The army never gotten a summit on resorted to using a gun on because of the ideas being that people who come isnt what youre telling them it would be to andy and as an english. Gun to shoot those who qualified need gun one. That it. Will get Companies Respond comment on fact as we suck my money on to them. Or example i didnt remember it was for someone im. The private military industry is a part of how the country is in fights wars today. U. S. Government doesnt track the number of contractors it uses in places iraq or afghanistan we know its a lot we dont really know exactly how many. I spent several years working within the industry i have a military background and one of the differences between being a soldier i found and being a private military contractor is that when you work for the u. S. Military or any military you take a sacred oath that youre going to serve and fight for your country and necessary die to protect a way of life one that you believe in i am an american soldier im a warrior and a member of a team. That will never accept defeat. At least i will never quit ill never leave a fallen comrade its the complete opposite in a private military world you look at the budget 1st the loyalty of these companies and these businessmens change depending on market forces. We operate in the worlds challenging complex emerging markets the middle east is absolutely cool for other business today. The sooner we can are in palin we perform into the right thing off. This industry is not just what you see is what you get. When you see a company you dont know exactly whos working for them they hire and they sometimes create what we call subs sub contractors. Theres been commanders in afghanistan who just simply say we dont know who the subs of the subs subs are. So you have all these like layers of a contract. A level of Quality Control starts to fade quickly the deeper you go from the top to the bottom. United states army and the military in general is so reliant on the private sector i would call the dependency but we dont know whos the on the ground presence of these Companies Overseas we just dont know. Crazy or not surely its really crazy in iraq. Because since the fed i stepped my fits in iraq every did that was a bomb and they bombed a village there is a rockets. Every day we have rockets fired. Every day how to gunshots every day a bomb in income in income in all my good it bomb once you know whats you damage. 4 of our guards 4 of the civil union guys well trained guys assume i say original rock i called my mom i said mom im in iraq she said oh. I said im in iraq no no youre kidding i said no moment im in iraq i said mom just watch the number whats the number and she watched the number. She was she was just she was yelling oh daddy. I said no mom there is no problem here we are saved we are not using weapons we are you here is does our i convinced my mom i said we are doing just domestic walk in iraq she told all the neighbors around so my son hes in iraq you know hes doing in cooking joe not in the in that we were born. Just after the war in syria you know i couldnt make it up because there was no job i didnt. And my friend calls me its told me thats a. Very civic and see they were recruiting guys socalled so its also iraq if you just use weapons and rui are well trained in it come from comply on. The 1st time i arrive to to this Training Camp can plan i have together with that to see white men found from the security company. Went driving out in this small track and whats so was the camp through this forest a landscape not so far away from from the airports and when we enter the camp and get out of the car the 1st thing we see is this a gun an instructor was and shouts of the training out there making the recruits theyre lined up in order to receive these guys from the past security company. Their work my care for iraq was. Written i came from iraq you said that he needed. It what a shallow fighter who supposed to go to iraq not on ice you know who those who know basic weapon uses only people that you cant be fighting between iraq. From a shell young government perspective the iraqi crude and was considered a quite good deal in the sense that they could actually take you know good troublemakers something away to back for a couple of years. And then returning them after 2 years with money and from that overseas deployment this could surf to stabilize you crazy in ca on. Live. In the beginning of the Training Course the one of the real weapons presence so theyre using the set i wouldnt sticks. It was fast after a couple of days and so the training that the weapons and riped and their well being lined up with and sables within in the middle of the big camp. I dont. Know it was this tension and excitement also the tension mainly because now its actually getting into something very real ok me. For many have to be true this is the 1st time holding a weapon since the ending of the civil war. When they were starting to shake and some were even starting to cry when that when the su got the weapons and not being able to to handle them. That day any day i will provide a compliant backing for iraq and a vampire no war and the money is gone but from the past i thought that we supposed to know when im seeing this when im talking. The most notable for now. What i did last. So supposed to have born again i said. I did. What. I survive and i live where point. This young in what has been what mainly by young converts. Looking for young men to perform military jobs the chance of a quite good that they have also been. I was its at 13. But you never can mean i think that actually. It took my fight i remember when putting on this rough. To leave. Me. Give us they fight with us you know i dont know whats right whats he talking about. To keep. Right. Not. Gonna. Need to. Show you that you have in mind. If not about every day remember. Returned our few my father to my without next idea that i would keep. This its little im going to be sad oh. I said no i dont want a tree so i asked thats how good it is thats a used in this stuff you put it in my boat. And my boat is that bond and i bony it in order and drop. This in yes to cry for water but the gun makes you forget about your mortar so i start says. Call my house. When i was young. At a lot of things that ive been scindia. A lot of there which is not good for human beings. Or when they do so because. Of the job you have your command on when does it go the people you have to go to by denny dont order you to have been killed. When we think of war and the war youre right we have this image and our mind of a man in uniform. And uniform means theyre fighting as part of a military serving a nation because if they fight for their force political patriotism. And yet when you look at the wars of the 21st century they dont match those assumptions anymore now we have outsourced a lot of our war fare to private military companies. The background of this changing nature of war and fights that dates back to the very start of the private military industry itself as. It was until the early ninetys the private Security Industry is a dull commercial industry. Outright mercenaries who were bringing down governments for the cash can you explain what exactly sound fine internationally is and what you do and. Sunline. Is a company that provides military Consultancy Services for governments. For asians. At the time the idea was to get very posh english officers on top of these private military companies and tim spicer was an officer in the military the British Military he got out and was asked to come help with a Company Called sandline. To splices arrival gave an almost instant sense of respectability to what had previously been a mess in the world and i dont personally have any difficulty would mostly i just dont like the image that it comes out in most peoples mind the 1st time it seems feisty i was interviewing him for a newspaper hes charming Public School educated god self so and that medievals it must be a feature they construe before and it changed the agenda of the global agenda almost a problem that your company was. Tim spicer was considered the respectable head of a mercenary organization but at 1st his Business Affairs didnt go too well he was dogged by failure for example he got a phone call from a fellow indian with a thai passport who was under house arrest for a financial scandal and he contacted tim spicer and wanted him to restore the president of sierra leone. Once the president sherrilyn was back in power this guy would then get his contracts for diamonds and be able to make money. But it didnt work out that way. The Companies Run by tip spicers focus on a couple 150 patients by customs and excise and hes accused of smuggling weapons illegally. When a private firm gets involved in foreign politics for the benefit of a criminal you have to stop and ask ok this really happened or is this a fictitious you know james bond type story but it was a true story. These things tended to happen says tim spicer a couple of times that hed always somehow managed to get signed the recently retired british got into that a band of ministers is safely back in this country so has this put him up his new career as a hired gun going to continue with this new new business of heroes Sandline International well i think weve got a number of lessons to learn from this particular. Episode i think that we will continue to try and develop business as long as we can do it in a. So thats what. The. Sandline eventually collapsed under the weight of bad publicity the ones that have idea in the short term you can say that was also a Successful Company in terms of delivering an enormous amount of money to its channels and so forth to firstly it launched to spice on a career where he was able to found what would then become one of the most significant problem if your company in the world. Each is. Good. Thanks to making loans to some friends because behind the suffering a millions of taxpayers because those tax payers never go away is a new one born every single day and it is an Urgent National mississippi that we officially request the education of the support mechanism we created together but because i happen to live in creeks somehow im a sinner im a bad person.

When 911 occurred everything changed. The contractor content of the armed forces went up astronomically at this hour american and Coalition Forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq. Ideologically republicans my party wanted every single Public Function to be scrutinized analyzed evaluated and if possible privatized general shinseki the head of the us army at the time testified to congress and said if were going to do iraq its going to take several 100000 u. S. Troops and very quickly the rest of the Bush Administration reacted negatively hes absurd thats crazy its not going to require those amount of troops and they actually simply dropped him out of the military it turned out he was right we did deploy several 100000 forces it was just through private military. So in the early days of iraq it was a gold rush you had companies coming out of nowhere including blackwater who was really like a cowboy but nobody had any control anybody doing anything with firearms in this country to say theyre private military company. Was an a. T. M. For these companies the basic idea of a contractor versus recruiting. Training in supporting military vets is that there is room hiring a prostitute or getting married. So instead of a soldier who has an x. Cost of a year now being a contractor whos being paid 8. 00 times 10. Well what has happened is that america has basically married a prostitute and has been active in them for a very long period of time as long as you do the least. You can see with you its nothing but a country and it is beautiful. But none of the russians are searching around ok im looking to see. If this hour we will get a room of leisure its very. Contractors offer some grey area benefits to politicians everybodys concerned like we have a 1000 boots the ground nobody ever asks how many contractors there is dont like our goods on the ground. So if the us military wanted to put 1000 boots on the ground and theres 4000 contractors its a way of you know having a force of 5000 but without politically risk. And be done without trying to meet. Your shoe to get you picked you yes yeah yeah but other. Than that bang bang so did did you get a skirt shoot 1st of a bad shot in front of you know you can reduce shade his car. And thats exactly. Right this is only right. If. The Security Companies had the sensitivity of something as civilians would often if not always. Get caught in the crossfire. What governments have always done is they would do 2 things at once. You fight and you win hawks and mines. Private when she didnt do that. When the ground opening fire they were very very noticeable they would play rock music that in this was not there was no subtlety 6 this was not a even the military will most discreet in the private Security Companies so they would as they were very very public slap in the face for the average iraqi on a daily basis. To a real problem for the military so we sell the contractor presence in iraq in particular but afghanistan too was becoming contrary to what the mission was for the armed forces there for their presence was more danger than it was help them. Knowing. Who. The police turn around in traffic circles. Theyre probably trying to get. The problem was that we had all of these different private military Companies Running around we outsourced too quickly and they werent coordinated both in contract terms but also in on the Ground Operational terms so what is your answer to a problem of outsourcing. Outsource more we outsourced it to a private military company to coordinate. Is uses contracts in iraq and was to oversee the communication and coordination for all of the private Security Companies on the ground. Been affected meant that they were the general in charge of all of the private contractors. Now that point the us military was the largest machine presence in iraq but if you added together all of the private military contractors spies was effectively in charge of the 2nd largest on force in iraq. The prisons in iraq was relatively scandal free as one. Video which was posted on youtube from the contract so who is. Following that gun while playing rock music. Being. Released. But no legal actions were taken. Very rapidly each is such a machine huge company. And it made to spy certain extremely healthy man. A majority of americans now think it was a mistake to go to war in iraq public support for the war is falling war americans want the troops to come home. In a brief ceremony on a base on the edge of baghdad the United States took down the flag of its command here to mark the end of the military mission. The u. S. Money was starting to be pulled out of the iraqi. Field operations and the industry had to go through a very complicated reset. Those companies had to realize that they werent going to get that level of money again and so they had to offer different. Deals. That meant they would have to hire cheap the soldiers. Let me do more. Work. For no one will not go to war. I was. Going to evaluate. Then i. Had to google goog moment on what. So mad. I did. And for. The record i dropped. All the usual achieve monitor not only to give you a hard to go shop just to get it out of. The buy but to mrs. Moody and the judge and im gonna need. Out. On explain what you need to know. C in the initial story. If the long sleeve notes if you. Dont want to land you dont want. Them all the. Time do the tax. Cuts before harms. Innocent people. Open your eyes drop its. Sometimes they will give you just our march up which is not shop we are by if you need your gun on a table or whatsoever depressing can feel it more than you expect to hear in order. To. Destroy the life. I think when i was just. All work undertaken by egypt is carried out to high standards of fresh milk competence and integrity when we 1st started into theater we were briefed on peruvian and colombian guards and the natural question you ask is so what do you pay for these folks and you know at the time and im playing off memory cells but im pretty good at that that was about a 1000. 00 to 1200. 00 and them oh i dont know 6 months a year ago it became. God and guards at about 800. 00 a month and we dont ask the question of Security Companies because of those lowest price technically acceptable rushed to the bottom of this what some call it. White while gone its now versus proving some columbia im sorry so we dont have a chance to get the award unless we use a god and because there are 2. 00 to 400. 00 less and now in this most recent trip the company that is winning all the awards that had this was 1st started heard of well weve got a good strategy were using Sierra Leonean its so you ask the question so so what are we paying from just about 250. 00 a month. You know i guess rhetorically i dont expect to be answered you know to come and go lower can we find someone its like well do it for boardroom you know. That is such a terrible country that maybe theyll just go out of the country and be a Free Security guard i mean thats pretty inexpensive if i say that it sounds facetious but its real. You know who you get what you pay for. The original goal was not to bring soldiers or exogenous from the poorest countries on earth but the u. S. System requires that you pick the lowest bidder so that became the status quo in iraq to have multiple layers of foreigners as long as youre in the army and you meet certain criteria and sometimes you dont have to be in the army to meet this criteria. Companies self interest is different than National SelfInterest Companies are profit maximizes what they do thats natural. Born or made right now. What do you do if you know you have somebody from the philippines working for an American Private all try company in afghanistan to kill somebody what jurisdiction does that person fall under we dont know. d in about 15 countries ive been involved in programs to reintegrate children who have served in armed forces. Its a contradiction in terms on the one hand western countries have pumped large sums of money into the reintegration of former child soldiers but now we have governments like us supporting these socalled Security Companies that recruit people and continue their exposure to violence and cement their identities as perpetrators of violence as soldiers but make it impossible to ever reintegrate into civilian life. At one time when the orchids came into account to kill a lot of. These. Hours on top of the time. Looking down we had to explain. I think when people are dying on the street. The explosion is sickening all over the city and off anytime had a gunshot had a bomb or watch a very explosion i think about my going to what happens. When you brought you back. To the 1st team for. For for us. The. Should and i remember. School deceased wall i miss whats happened instead you see. You. Really dont. Know. If youre running into calm and. Fighting for whats out or lights out there are you fighting for you got. Ill. Feeling or is that you dont use you know this is not good well to be close to one. Justice you dont have to. It may seem like an act of free well it is not young people in sierra leone have no jobs theyre desperate to feed themselves and their families and result is that it becomes harder and harder to ever find their way back into civilian life and they may plant seeds of violence wherever they go. It is well known that young people who have extensive histories of violence from being fed drugs and manipulated over time they develop problems of impulsivity high levels of aggression. You know we pride ourselves on being a moral people trying to do the right thing what were doing is were exploiting people using young people whove been child soldiers deliberately sending them into the jaws of combat and further violence nothing could be worse for these young people nothing could be worse for security. Theres a close connection between these this industry and policymakers. These private military firms really poach a retired general officer as an admiral as from the armed forces. Because they have connections. And i know. I say that it sounds facetious but its real. No will you get what you pay for. The private Security Industry will continue to act for governs and youre going to see private companies neutrino gaging in warfare. People care a lot a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country and we start asking ourselves why did they die why do what were they fighting for nobody bothers to ask about their contractors. Every american who serves joins an unbroken line of heroes i am awed by their sacrifice. When in good time and not allowing im going and i have not im not im not a fool if i do any kind of good our men have family coming into town you. Know who to be got in on to me what they need to guide. Theres no one going to go out and protest in the streets of a contractors kill. Country still exercises its Foreign Policy the use of force and violence in these 4 regions but is using proxies contractors 3rd Country Nationals and in obscuring their role. You say how does your candidate in them and iraq how does some missions here when the left can stand its really your money and your tax money. Doing it but make sure that politicians dont get in trouble. Private military contractors makes a decision to go to war a lot easier. As part of ending a war responsibly is standing by those who fought it. For. Banging the bank the bank the bank.
