Mercenaries in Afghanistan part 4

Part 4 of Mercenaries in Afghanistan.

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

Im a British Royal Marine Commando...and having spoken to some key Brititish officers on operations in Helmand..the most dangerous province...and asked key US Officers ..in the safe zone of Kandahar where the US are based..and the answers always been the same about this bloke...he is a billy bullshitter...full of himself. He could take out hundreds of men on his own?? bullllshitttt. The guy is bigging himself up for the camera's and i'd bet Top quids i have 17 year old Marines who'd deck him.

@SouthernCross33 110% right mate. This guy is an embarressment to the US. The Americans i've worked alongside have always been professional and are not only staunch allies of us British troops...but are also great warriors. This guy does them a serious discredit but then they already know that. As i've said all the Americans i've spoken to consider him a complete moron and an idiot.

@LCStreetPhotographer The 1 thing i've learnt about genuine hard nuts is they never blow their own trumpet. Real men with true guts don't need to spout off about themselves,others do it for them. This guy is a typical big mouth who has bought his way in with the Afghans. Jesus anyone can pull a trigger,this clown is full of shit. Also the stocked bar full of grog is very unislamic,but then again the Northern Alliance he speaks of are drug producing/running scum,so no surprise there. WANKER
