Private armies in Afghanistan. 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? An American citizen employed by the Afghan or American gov? Jailed with mujahidin pals his living standards in prison seem higher than those you would have expected

  • The government will work to mercenaries, but I do not do it. Not liable. I do not know. Perhaps, but faking it.

  • why dont people like mercenaries?

  • Wow 0:50 where's the trigger discipline? Lol

  • @London2ATL Basically? Yeah. Outsourcing your work over there would be alot better financially. I know HVAC (Heating and Air) guys making $400/day in the Middle East just for working on the bases out there. I would definitely look into it if I were you.
