![]() | Private Armies - 52 min documentary See full film here: http://www.booserver.com/projects.php?ProjectID=3031 6 June 2007 As the Iraqi government threatens to expel all foreign mercenaries following the Blackwater shootout, the role of private military contractors is once again in the spotlight. There's no denying that the rise of the private military contractor is transforming the way we wage war. They earn four times more than regular soldiers, act with impunity and - in Iraq - outnumber all non-US soldiers combined. 'Private Armies' follows the training and deployment of these men. From skidding around a racing track, practising escaping from kidnappers, to dodging bullets in Baghdad, it's an eye-opening look at life as a private soldier. |
![]() | Bagdad Guns For Hire Part 1/5 http://malagent.com/?page_id=269 National Geographic Documentary on Private Military Contractors (PMC's) With all the controversy over a couple of incidents involving PMC's working in Iraq - particularly the rude, violent, and obviously uninformed comments left by so many - I feel it is important for people to get a little more information to help them make up their own minds. Hopefully you use the power of critical thinking rather than just listening to Nancy Pelosi, CNN or Michael Moore. I feel that individual responsibility is very important, each person & company should absolutely be held responsible for their actions. But all too often people will simply jump to some conclusion an then someone else suffers because of it. Others will make decisions based on some partisan political nonsense. |

The business of war shows in this case, the profile of some mercenaries that are tough, outspoken, cold-blooded and hired to kill their employer's target. American embassy in Afghanistan isn't guarded by US marines but by the employees of a British security company, one of the many 'private security companies', as they like to call themselves. Shot by Claudio von Planta and presented by Sam Kiley this documentary portrays the life in prison of one of these mercenaries, Jack Idema, a scapegoat?
