  • Why does the back water train soldiers? I wonder is wages have anything to do with it and liability.

  • I am very happy to see the vidoe from you, hopefully the others also are happy for You Private Armies - 52 min documentary

  • I am very happy to see the vidoe after you give this 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.

  • Steady I Really Like This Video 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.

  • Nice Video government threatens to expel all foreign mercenaries following the Blackwater shootout, the role of private military contractors is once again in the spotlight That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You

  • I Really Like The Video Private Armies 52 min documentary From Your

  • Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing Private Armies 52 min documentary

  • Making a killing ;)

  • @Volhead49 .... Cause the national guard did Amazing when katrina hit! Ha lol or probably why they called in army from ft worth and guns for hire. Get your shit straight brah

  • ...there are no ExMarines....... Only former..

  • im courious...im Canadian...could i join?

  • @BaconTV123 nope, Most of these guys are ex- AMERICAN special forces or snipers.

  • @illnoisAirsoft sure? cause i heard on some documentary that 98% of blackwater is american and the other 2% is "other"...cause im done school in a few years and i plane going into the military,but we all know military pay isnt the best...so i look it up a bit more, and if not look for something else, thanks

  • Thats a BLUE helicopter with WHITE stripes

  • You guys won't think these dudes are so cool when they start enforcing martial law in the US.

  • Comment removed

  • Blackwater will be written off in the future as a Race of warriors that fought for the Sake of fighting. Their a successful company, remember that.

  • its hard to believe that a private org of vets can do things our elite armed forces cant. there must be other reasons for their existance than just providing services that the real military cant provide. and we certainly dont need them for domestic purposes when we have the national guard. it seems like a huge waste of taxpayers money, which we damn sure dont need, especially right now.

  • 500 dead contractors ? I have heard 250. But no one actually know the total number, as no one is keeping track of all the dead. And not all companies are as willing to discuss their number of casualties. I guess there is a reason their source was not mentioned in the video.

  • just shows you the state of the us military if they have to rely on pmc to train their own soldiers

  • Can anyone from any country join the Blackwater ? From Norway

  • @dimmu5430 No one can join Blackwater anymore. It's defunct.

  • and in 5:58 the guy says that the black water is also about supporting freedom and democracy everywhere. hahaha how full of shit one can be. I've also been fighting for freedom and democracy but then I took an arrow to da knee...

  • Pure evil company!

  • Russias broke...they cant even pay theyre soldier...how can they send them overseas to fight? Chechnya is war with Russia. They want their indepedency as a muslim country. But Chechnyan soldiers are fighting the Americans in Afghanistan to support Arab states.

  • @breakurselff You have no clue what you're talking about. Chechnya isn't even a country, and the wars stopped years ago.

  • Wouldn't it have been nice if when the US went to Iraq, they asked Russia for support and Russia said yes? Then we would have videos of Russian soldiers fighting along side US soldiers, forming a bond that only men of combat can have. I mean both Russia and the US hate terrorists right? So why not work together?

  • @1169Timothy Because they hate each other.

  • @WickyWiggstaz I an not so sure about that. Russia and America have some tension, but it is not hatred. If Russia and the US hated one another they would have gone to war already.

  • @1169Timothy Wrong, just because you hate someone, doesn't mean you go to war with them. We hate Iran, but we haven't gone to war with them. Russia needs trade with the West, the West needs minerals and oil/ gas from Russia. Both have nuclear stockpiles and both would lose out if they were to take up arms against the other. This integrated world market is what keeps nations like the USA and Russia from fighting with one another and nothing else.

  • @WickyWiggstaz So what you are trying to say is if the Trade was Gone then they would have gone to war already and that the trade helps them to look past their dislike of one another for the sake of commerce? I suppose you are right, the only thing that humans like more than conflict in wealth.

  • @WickyWiggstaz lmao, they don't hate each other, they just dont prefer each others company. But it's not hate bro, they can be civilised with one another quite easily and do so all the time.

  • @1169Timothy Because most of russian thinks, that current US government is the terrorist (police, fascist)

  • @1169Timothy fuck yeah, i'm with you 100% bro, all of that cold war nonsense needs to be done away with and we need to unite! two superpowers like russia and US working together? hell I'm Australian and even I'd vote for that.

  • @1169Timothy Russia has its own problems right now.

  • @TeaDrinkingGamers very true. But fighting along side in a war and achieving victory would help foster a bond between Russia and the US. However that is not the only way that the two nations can start a relationship.

  • @1169Timothy Well, the thing is, Russia does not agree with what the U.S. is doing there. They wanted to legitimately help the middle east(and they have in countries like Saudi arabia and Syria). Any idiot can see that the U.S. is there for Oil and to establish their own puppet government.

  • @TeaDrinkingGamers Really? I would shit myself if you can give one bit of truth or logic to that statement......just admit you have no idea what you are talking about.

  • @strakill Truth to which part? Russia helping or America being imperialistic? Actually, scratch that, I don't care enough to explain anything, figure it out yourself, I'm not here to persuade you.

  • @TeaDrinkingGamers How about both. I have studied this stupid war you moron, I don't just repeating stuff I read on a blog. Yep America want's to take over the world and Russia gives a rats ass about the middle east..you got it. So if you have any proof that America is there for oil, lets see it because no oil has left that country in our control.

  • @strakill Read it, its everywhere, Russia has been funding power plants and other infrastructure to many countries in the middle east. I don't read blogs, so stop making assumptions, makes you look uneducated. As for the oil, your only reasoning is that the price hasnt dropped, and yet, look at all of the countries that haven't intervened in the middle east, $9 gallon oil.

  • @strakill what the fuck are they out there for then???? they always have been after the oil in iraq. dont be so narrow minded

  • @paulturton27 Oh please narrow minded, speak for your self. Honestly the war in my opinion was just the the profit because that all that logic can conclude. After the oil..really? then why the hell hasn't prices dropped? Give me a break on the war for oil nonsence already. There was no reason to be in Iraq, sure we liberated the people from a tyrant but the next one is on its way. The only gain from this war has been the PMC's..thats a fact jack so show me the oil we gained...I'm waiting.

  • @strakill do you really think they would drop the prices once they know people would pay the high price? give over, governments are greedy. answer me one thing though, with iraq and afghanistan how exactly are we helping them to be free? IED's are the biggest killer of civilans and funny enough they have been put there BECAUSE of foriegn forces!

  • @1169Timothy lol cause there are still alot of communists in Russia

  • @1169Timothy I mean both Russia and the US hate terrorists right? So why not work together?

    xxxxxxxx

    Russians hate stupid yankees

  • The worst thing that ever happened to this country is when they ended the draft and replaced it with a bunch of over paid yahoos. As long as the foreign policy of this country and the blood that it spills can be hidden with dollars the people will tolerate just about anything. When the cost of our wars comes home to all the classes of people is when we all have an open debate about what we are really willing to pay for global hegemony.

  • All men are born equal has nothing to do with the temporal things of this world. All men are created equal so that they may humble themselves before God, be used by God, and be blessed by God. The physical things that shape our world and lives are never equal, so you can draw any whacked out conclusion you want by going there.

  • Making money and kicking ass!

    2 things Libtards hate

  • @Jamespot24

    YEEEEEESHHHH!!!!!!!

  • Real soldiers and law enforcement take an oath to protect and defend the constitution.Who do these guy serve and protect.Remember Hitlers SS was his private and see how that went.This should scare the hell out of people.

  • These bitches would shoot their own kids for a paycheck.Who the fuck are they kidding.I wouldn't want them covering my back.I'd end up with a bullet in the back of my head.

  • One day Blackwater will turn on us!

  • @browneyes4 Lol,yea you are right------the only armed forces should be the national defence...With soldiers that are loyal to the the gov.

  • Sorry but from what I've heard the truth is it's all about the money! The worst is I've heard they are willing to hire from out side the US? My fear is I might find myself staring down one of their gun barrels in the case of NWO!

  • illuminati guards,when shit starts.

  • Black Water is not XE. Far too many murders got them into serious trouble (world wide). Teaching cops and military forces to commit guilty until proven guilty assault against citizens without care or concern for anything except profit. Casualties are nothing as long as they are not yours. Remember Oli North? Following any order is not what your Oath is about. Freedom through murder is not freedom but terrorism.

  • Urea jacta est ....

  • Its just weird that this and a hedgehog climbing over a fence was in my recommended videos 

  • They are killing innocent men, women & children & they call this patriotism.

  • Comment removed

  • always are private amy,s...

  • privatize all armies, problem solved

  • This is a really disturbing trend.. private armies....

  • @GnosticHumanist it is

  • TheHashtonKusher  U R A F... HIPPY!

  • the director has 8 children and non in black waters?ex soldiers serve in this company where as they left national army? if yes than please stop cruelty and look for better solutions.

  • reading youtube comments make me cringe in disbelief that these words came from a human.

  • What bs, @6:50 he says "we work for the American ppl" yeah, so why did your company (blackwater) disarm decent honest hardworking US civilians during Katrina,when the govt left those ppl to their own fate and you lot disarmed them to make it even harder for them to survive? I'd say that is an enemy of the ppl

  • @SouthernCross33 it didn't help either when some of the people were shooting at National Guard and cops during the relief efforts. Granted i do think the government over stepped thing a bit by innocent and law biding people be subjected of what few bad apples.

  • What a crappy "monument" to their fallen brothers,with all the $ Blackwater makes you'd think they'd come up with something better than a rock with a little plaque on it

  • go A-team

  • y dont yall get it. they dont do it for the money they care to keep doing what u want do

  • So with private armies what happens to the Posse Comitatus Act?

  • Libya, Gaddafi has an equal and good for now that USA and NATO.

  • Something that must be considered when employing the Dogs of War - They MUST BE PAID and PAID WELL

  • these guys are bad fucking ass. Black Water no longer exists. XE took its place.

  • Deus abençoe America !,mas só fazem é merda..é armas e mais armas...

  • The U.S shouldnt get involved in wars but instead focus more on just NATO, and UN members doing most of the work. The US should cut militray funding by 1/5 and pull out of Afghanistan they should let other people take care of it. The US should also backdown as the Global Police Force. Just my opinion

  • @TheKidNamedRoland The UN are worthless, Rwanda is one of many situations in which they failed because they are bound by international law not to interfere and only fire when fired upon. Private contracting does not have all those rules and allows them to shoot down rebels, not only in the Middle East but in Africa as well. You guys only hear about the bad incidents and never good ones in which they save lives. When they die nobody accept family members mourn them. Watch Soldiers of Fortune vid.

  • our tax money are paying for that asshole's children to go to private schools

  • If it's not about the paycheck, why not join the army?... It's about the paycheck! lol

  • @723398216 of course its about the paycheck. im workin my way up to doin this, an ill gladly admitt its all about the money.... no shame in it

  • @RealisticSigma very true, but it would be nice to hear him admit it lol... Then again, not great for image hehehe

  • @723398216 indeed! an PR is a huge part of corps now :)

  • This Joseph Schmidts Fuck never read the constitution just one time.

  • thumbs up if outbackzack brought you here!!

  • How about we don't START wars. It is against the principles of this country.

  • @TheHashtonKusher this nation was built on war, bloodshed, and pain. Blood is necessary for life. In fact, Thomas Jefferson, penman of the constitution and one of the first presidents of the USA said,"From time to time the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants. I fear the day this nation goes twenty years without a good revolution." I really wish folks like you would learn somethin before yall open your mouths and spew ignorance out onto the internet.

  • @RealisticSigma We are not to start war. (start). Revolution and starting a war are 2 completely different things. 

  • @RealisticSigma A revolution isn't quite the same as a foreign war on the other side of the world. Actually, it's very different!

  • @TheGreekOdysseus War is war my friend... If I can make a profit off of it... well be it... i want me and mine to survive in the end. if that means doin things i dont like... well so be it. I have a family to provide for.

  • @RealisticSigma There's a big diffrence between waging wars for "liberty" in times of crisis and starting wars to pursue resources, money and power. You wanna quote big men like they are gods of wisdom? Let's quote Eisenhower, who in his resigning speech warned the people of America of the Industrial Complex, that is the main player behind America's latests prolonged wars of failure, including but not limited to the war in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. Think outside the paradigm, please.

  • @Stealthsuit07 You sir are a very intelligent man. i Only wish more people on youtube could be more like you.

  • Comment removed

  • @RealisticSigma

    i agree that as a ssociety we are pretty bloodthirsty whether we want to admit it or not, and this country has a very long history of war, been almost been non-stop and definitely cruel and hard on our mothers.

    was it all necessary? you wanna get your jaw blown off so dole banana can keep people in slavery? don't know about you, but i don't much lilke policing severed limbs or quick clottin kids cause billy badass didn't get to jack off before muster. war is god awful shit.

  • @RealisticSigma George Washington was a non interventions.

  • @RealisticSigma Jefferson did not mean he wanted Americans to START wars. He meant he did not want the American people to become zombies and not be willing to question the decisions of their government, (hence 'twenty years without a good *revolution*').

    You have misinterpreted Jefferson's metaphor.

    It's also worth considering that times change, and what was relevant then, is not necessarily relevant now. It's not being unpatriotic to accept that the world is not the same as it was in C18th.

  • It's also worth remembering the *literal* bloodshed that *metaphorical* quote has caused. Timothy McVeigh also took it literally.

  • @RealisticSigma So you're OK with War for profit? I don't mind a revolution in our country at all if it's to defend the constitution, but going overseas and creating wars for profit is against the wishes of the founding fathers. War is only necessary in the defense of our freedom here at home.

  • @RealisticSigma Miss the point much? Jefferson was a fuckin genius and predicted much of what has happened to consume the US and send it so far down hill. He wants you to get off your ass and over-turn the corruption, not sit there like a robot, cheerleading for whatever they tell you to.

  • Comment removed

  • @RealisticSigma fucking war mongering americans no shit your country is founded on bloodshed, in canada we could have revolutions without violence and thats why we are soo pussy/peaceful today.

    if you want peace and love and respect from other countries, u have a long way to go until you finally realize

  • @RealisticSigma arent all nations built on war, isn't history alone decided by outcome of bloodshed. Remember, history alone states that peace is usually done through war. It is an inevitable.

  • @RealisticSigma shut up... USA is the root of banks , banks the root of evil and modern capitalist slavery... Irak , Afgan and many others were conquest for domination of the rich bankers in USA and that's about it... don't even start... if you want to fight a war - fight a war on poverty and equality of ALL people , not workers and a few bosses...

  • @Altegore "banks the root of evil"

    You sound like a 12th century Christian cleric.

  • @ihaterobbie123 no , I'm not religious , i sound like 21. century 99% pissed of worker...

  • @Altegore You realise that the 99% movement are just seeking to oppress people who make more money than them right? What we're seeing now is exactly what happened just before the communist revolution in Russia, but worse. It's not plight, it's greed.

    If your movement could actually come together with a working, reasonable, and fair monetary policy then I'd support you, "Capitalism doesn't work" doesn't convince anyone no matter how much you spout that "99%" bullshit.

  • @ihaterobbie123 yes... no one should have more than anybody else... we must all be equal in order to live normally and healthy... its not greed, it simply common sense... and a better world order is "The Venus Project" along with "The Zeitgeist Movement"...google it... that is the only sustainable way , this way we are going into Armageddon as masses will never be happy... Why should 1% own 90% of worlds wealth and then make laws for me to follow while they don't?

  • @Altegore "we must all be equal in order to live normally and healthy... its not greed, it simply common sense"

    I believe in equal opportunity, everything else is up to you. Despite what you selfishly think, not everyone is your equal just because they fucking live.

    The rest of your comments are so moronic in their content it's not worth replying to them. Sustainable wind energy eh? That's a nice fantasy, but nothing more.

    Keep dreaming about owning the world, greedy cunt.

  • @ihaterobbie123 That's your kind, fucking ignorant stupid little worker ants with nothing more but insults when their argument fails to science and common sense of more intelligent and open minds... how can equal opportunity be equal if someone lives in Somalia and someone in Japan, huh? It cant!!! That's why we need to stop acting like ignorant little chicken shits and do something... Planet is dying cause of people like you, but its OK, ether it changes or we all go extinct...

  • @ihaterobbie123 also, you little bag of feces, all people are BORN equal, but its the SURROUNDINGS and other people that SHAPE THEM into donators of blood or murderous criminal animals... would you steal if you had everything??? no... would you kill if you never seen killing as solution as you grew up??? no... But yeah , all you little mindless drone now is that world is turned around by money , and that is bull fucking shit... Have fun making money and wasting away...

  • @ihaterobbie123 You can never buy back what making money has cost you.

  • @ihaterobbie123 I don't think so... I don't believe in bosses and masters...only leaders... The wealthy man is not an opportunist - he is a thief and a criminal cause he would sell shit like coca cola that is unhealthy just to score money... He would continue to use fossil fuels even if we have technology to power the whole planet with wind power...why? to stay in power...to be the master...the ruler...that is stone and medieval age bullshit, its time to evolve and get civilized.

  • @TheHashtonKusher Shut up hippie.

  • @TheHashtonKusher War is the way.

  • @TheHashtonKusher BAHAHAHA are you serious? thats to funny

  • read the constitution...blackwater should not exist....it should be blown off the faceof the map.......blackwater confiscated guns from americans during katrina....scum...very soon these same people will be shooting at americans....read the constitution...if you are for blackwater,then you must hate america and freedom

  • @angrynhpatriot soo if you like blackwater that means your like most of the rest of the world?

  • @cyborgrat people hate america not for the freedom we dont have...but because we insist in being the gestapo of the world...they hate us because we use people for their resources and then leave them high and dry when they need help..trust me we are the most controlled,corupt nation on the earth, that spreads pain and suffering on inocent people...you need to seek some information..we are run by the federal reserve and foriegn bankers.blackwater is completely unconstitutional

  • @angrynhpatriot

    All you need to get rid of the blackwater firm is to face up to the fact that the resources poured into the pentagon have been squandered, and you now need a low-tech high armor force to suck it up in fighting ragheads in the middle east that you did not have to fight at all. And anyone, cut out the political bush/obama bullshit, both of them are CFR trained, so the only significant difference between them is one is half-black.

  • @davedavedaveanoy1 its not to hard to train your own security forces, the Army, Navy, Marines, and even the AirForce do it!

  • 1st the instructor is lying when he says that Special Forces troops train there...2nd Blackwater was only effective for about 2 yrs until they dropped their requirements from only previous SF to any ex military and cops.

  • @AntonioFLA100 thats why you go for global hehe their the top companie

  • Obama and Bush are the best presidents we've had . period

  • CAPITAN PRICEEEEE!!!!

  • Blackwater doesn't look anything like the guys from Mercenaries

  • nice try i would never pay to watch this shit

  • what a fuckin disgrace backwater was

  • so what i could get sum papper work done an start my own small black water ? i dont get it if they arnt military how can they go over an fight an be that well armed ...imean can anybody join how dose it work ? jw

  • @stickman547 I think they are pretty strict on hiring people.... I know they will take you if you have graduated ranger training and rangers only let the best of the best in

  • did anyone notice the narrator said "white helicopter with blue stripes" ? its a blue helicopter with a single white stripe xD

  • @MrPayneful Maybe it looked like that because of the thermal.

  • republican right wing cock sucking lier trying to fuck over obz burn in hell u kiss ass queer kiss ass baby bitch ill fuck u up. fucking with obz is the dumbest thing u couldve done u stupid cunt

  • Americas military = oxymoron.

  • 1. no such thing as democracy only mob rule.

    2. no such thing as freedom in america.

  • @azkeyz im free to fight the new world order. and so are u. theres freedom everywhere.

  • any job where more guns = more money, they will be there .

  • i agree with him. I mean, there's a pay check for almost anything now a days. Does that mean those people are only doing it for the money whatever their job may be? I don't think so.

  • lol young pple lost lifes bec this payed mercenaires work for blackwater i know some personally and knew i knew a dude j dub he worked for blackwater he was a killa damn if he felt today wan kill he did it and then inscenate was accident liek a fire attack and stuffs ... lot civilians losts life not even guilt

  • @YfO22 I couldnt understand what in the hell you are saying. Why dont you look your comment over and retype it so others can understand what you're trying to say.

  • @tyron113493 tryed say those privat armies like blakwater are shit in this war zone pple got killed bec wasnt guilt jus bec some those payed mrecenaires have fun to kill

  • Why can't the military do the jobs that Blackwater and other mercs do?  I really hope it doesn't have to do with the governments image.

  • @cskillet2003 US Military can't be seen bombing a mosque. It does not matter what Black Water is seen doing.

    Thats why Xe (formerly blackwater) are awesome!

  • @TheIronicBanana I guess that makes sense. I wonder what the consequences would be if the US military did that though. If it ruffles some feathers then good. At least the world will see we're serious about stopping our enemies. I guess that's just my opinion lol. Xe is definitely awesome!

  • @cskillet2003 If the US Miliary did that, it would violate international laws, (most don`t apply to mercenaries)

    There would be war crimes, which = prision time.

    But you have to remember, at the end of the day the military is made of just normal people, and most dont want to kill innocent civilians any way

  • Haha. he said a white helicopter with blue stripes when its clearly blue with white stripes lol

  • Won't lie, being a merc wouldn't be that bad. After the military, i can't think of a better way to make money for my line of work. Adventure, money, sounds pretty good to me.

  • I am recruting now. Business is good, plenty of foreigners to kill. Trying to start company here in Texas to take on drug lords across the border.

  • its such a questionable trade. how can you be sure youre "employer" is not a scuz bag! you have to have standards! for example, Khadaffi. if anyone lowers himself to workin for that goof then hes lost his military honor! there are now some mercenaries in Libya. doing really low class things at the moment against civilians. those dudes are pariahs to me. diseased microbes with no relevance.

  • we do it not for the paycheck but to be a part of something bigger than ourselves... oh really? why not stay in the military?

    why didn't i stay in the military? do you see this picture of my kids... my tuition payments are more than my salary

    oh so you DO do it for the pay and for the being a part of something bigger...

    hypocrisy seems to be around every turn here

  • I can always count on Journeyman Pictures to find a negative angle on every story that they do. Doom and gloom, cynical, overly critical, anti-government, anti-establishment, anti-corporate, etc. etc.

    People eat this stuff up apparently.

  • 6:59, looks like a blue helicopter with white stripes to me.

  • So..much...money..wasted....

  • Mexico needs Xe down there.

    There are now just under 200 firms operating, so what. If they let EO operate in Africa it probably would have saved several million lives including my brother, my sister, and all but 9 of our employees that we were able to smuggle out.

    You Liberals and conspiracy nuts have killed more people than 20,000 security firms could have ever killed by accident or through stupidity.

  • @actonbath ..........Mexico needs...oh lordy, what can one say? even god cant save that disaster of a country. it truely is a sad place. Baluchistan has more law and order.

  • If I were going to Mexico I would rather have two top elites from Blackwater than 10 armed SWAT Police from Miami...for personel protection.

  • many polish names on the stones...

  • @84silesia 04:25 Żukowski - ex GROM soldier. Died with another ex GROM Lt. Kaskos in service of Blackwater on a convoy in Baghdad.

  • Ok, when the narrator sounds Brittish, it is against the overall AMERICAN security standard.

  • he's got kids in private school's, so he's obviuosly doing it for the money. so the merc's are doing it for the money. i'm sure there's other operations that blackwater does that he won't mention. like dress up as arabs and attack other arabs, (supposedly that's what happened in fallujah. or were those sas guy's? i can't remember.) but this is bad all around guy's with guns that don't really answer to anybody, they shoot a civvie do they go to jail?what about ROE do they follow it?

  • @TheCryptictruth It was SAS in Basra, but yeah incidents like that happen more then we think, and many of which are never reported, because they are just that, covert operations.

  • why would i buy the DVD ?
