Very interesting insight on how private security contractors work in Iraq. These are not mercenaries, as mercenaries are hired warriors. Private security contractors conduct defensive operations only.

  • @bigred121189 hey dummy u have to be ex military or cop to be a sec. Contractor

  • @350z350zify

    Private contractors can make anywhere from 250-1000 dollars a day, depending on who they're with and what they do. Most of Xe's/ Blackwater's contracts that I've seen offer from $450-$550.

  • @dewi911 who did you work for?

  • How much do these guys make?

  • @techlogi7 The problem with explosive type IEDs is that they can be countered with standard armor. Even a HEAT or Tandem HEAT warhead hitting directly can be blown away by reactive armor.

    An EFP is brutally simple. It's a single, massive bullet. It bypasses armor with sheer penetrative force.

  • i would go if someone gives me 600 usd a day.

  • @techlogi7 spoken like a true bookworm. Most IED's are modified mortar rounds or high plastic explosives,,such as PE-4 (a russion equivalent of C-4) the plasts can be so massive that it can dissable an uparmored HUMMVEE and can wipe entire platoons of ground forces, depending on how much ordinance is used and how it's prepped. Alot of them are electrically rigged so to a cell phone ringer, so that the insurgent just as to call the cell phone and VOILA, INSANTED BODY COUNT

  • they should cut the wages they give these guys and equip/train them better... jesus no wonder they drop like flies every time a convoy rolls

  • That was my car, the big hole in the door was the EFP, the other holes are from the explosion.
