A really good book about a pmc's story in iraq is "Highway to Hell" by John Geddes. He is ex-SAS. I suggest it if you find the pmc industry interesting
@Skidracer21 Awesome man! Now read "Licensed to Kill" by Robert Young Pelton! Its from the view of a journalist but he talks about everything from the history of PMCs to current training programs and stuff.. I don't even like to read for fun but I couldn't put these books down
It doesnt matter what company you work for, what branch of the military your in, or who you are if they catch you they will cut your head off on the internet, dont let them touch you, I dont care if you have to kill a hundred of them dont let them catch you.
an anyone that bitches about the rooftop battle about them fighting with soldiers is rediculus there was a major battle a couple miles away and the army was tied up finally a BW chopper pilote more or less stole a BW little bird to get a wounded marine out of there who had a round thru his neck which the BW guys saved his life and to drop off ammo and supplies the guys on the rooftop were down to single digit ammo then another helo cam in to drop off snipers on other rooftops to help out also
yeah all these videos were very very good i watch natgeo all the time and i never saw this show just like the future weapons when they go to blackwater it seems like someone is keeping these shows limited to the actual time they are allowed to be shown glad someone posted them
take care guys,my brother is in Mahmudiyah,we are from Bosnia and fighting terrorist since 1991:)I respect muslims,my mother is one,but hate radical assholes..that people has no honor and dont believe in god..they are simple terrorist..and assholes:)..TAKE CARE
Someone has to do this job... Those of you who have a nice warm shower, a hot meal, and your little cup of tea every night cannot say a word. Working in these areas they try to help, but you try to smile and be nice to someone intent on putting a bullet in your backside...
Look a lot of soldiers are alive because private security contractors took these missioni of resupplying the Iraqi army or bring in military good for them or medical supplies. In our case we delievered everything from fire trucks to up armor humvees. Did 2 years of this before I went static security. There are guys who have done this longer. I have been in country 5 years. contractors in my mind have saved a lot of lifes. Usually a lot more trained..Yes you do get your cowboys and idiots a lot

Hope these cunt ractors all choke to death on turds. What kind of filth accepts money to murder people in other countries? And to think so many of you support them. We've already killed a million people. Show some humility already you heartless cold bastards. What a waste of birth to give to such animals as yourselves.
You idiot, they're paid to protect private individuals such as CEO's they arent paid to engage in Combat, they engage only when they're being attacked, they dont have an offensive mission, they arent Mercenaries
Most of these guys are dedicated professionals, yes. But some of them, just like our military, are corrupt. No organization in the world is without a few bad apples. The truth is, a lot of the contractors,( and yes, they are mercenaries) are engaged in combat missions. Don't be mislead. The "contractors" are doing their fair share of killing.
people who dont understand this dont understand defense. for all of the detraction of these companies, they have no other option of how to do their jobs except for take no chances and eliminate all threats. if oyu wanna blame someone, blame the insurgents for making it such a minefield to begin with!
try being there, do you think its good for a young soldier like me to come home and read this shit, you havnt even been there or no what goes on over there other than the small prepaution thats on tv. if the allied forces were to pull out there would be no iraq left with in a week.
KJH700,you're very young that's clear, you need more time to grow up and start to understand what's going on in the world ,TVs
does not give the right picture of international policies , my ancestors defeated the ANZACS who invaded my country, do you know for what purpose they attacked Gallipoli!! you was sent to Iraq for the same purpose , write me for more details , Go in peace
well thats very funny because my ancestors were ANZACS, Australiab New Zealand Army Corpse. and no its not the same, you say allied forces are there due to oil, and 100 years ago there would have been barely any use for oil.
the reason why im pissed off with my country and people like you is because you have no idea what its like over there, you put your self in my shoes and see what its like to live the aftermath of war and have some one say we shouldnt even be there its just a waste. so my mates died for a cause that people think is a waste and dont believe in cause there hooked on some stupid fucking conspiracy about oil while where trying to liberate iraq.

hahaha, such propaganda! If anyone has watched that video of blackwater "under siege" they all look very happy, one even exclaiming "this is a turkey shoot!" this is just over hyped propaganda, of which national geographic is a tool.
@fsoldaten My dads a former SEAL and he worked for BlackWater when he retired and he was over in Iraq while everything was going on and even he said it was nothing like what the News played it out to be.It was just left wing propaganda Yea they got into alot of shoot outs but they wernt killing innocent people and they wernt missionarys they were what they always said they were doing private security just so happens they did security in a very hostile area.and they were just good at what they do
The guy kept saying "They're there to protect (AKA Defend..) and to get the people they are protecting out as fast as possible. Well in Najaf, when the compound came under attack, the best way to defend themsleves and the people around them was to fight back! Sometimes fighting back is the best way to get what you are protecting to safety, you know? God bless our Troops, LE, and PSCs! Thank you all for your service to help rebuild Iraq while making an honest dollar.
I would rather kill than be kill. I don't give a crap about who I am killing. If they happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, then it's too bad. My life is more important than anything else. I will not think or hesitate. The gun is my closest friend. If a person walk up to me after a given warning to stay away, I will kill that person no matter who they are. One step closer is all it takes to get kill. This is a war zone so expect the unexpected.
You people have no clue about what its like up there. I have spent the last 3 1/2 years in Private Security we are not Mercs we are there to assist the re-building. If you actually left the confines of your Mums basement and went and did something maybe we could stop the insurgency..... And turn Iraq into a safe place. Till then the PSC's will continue to work!!!!!!
God bless! Thank you for doin' our dirty work, i got nuthin' but respect for these guys!

If you want to be a private contractor you should be a former solider ( special forces like navy seals , rangers) are inite to jb.
