to pay money from their pockets through something called taxes that are just a thickly that hides the transmission mechanism of your money through the government into those who own these bond me me the i b, b, c was the us to less iraq. america continues to maintain high prices in the country with us to see in the world situation. and again, this done is into the crucial international had to control the afghan forces. the security situation remains critical in the country.

we are now supply in the us. your minus i do so yeah, like how about if i just keep on if i already move our friends most of us again, some of them they have ordered and left off. i'm going to de enough i found right now they're making money. we lose money when you get to michigan didn't was one area like our so how, how many of the person says you're sending out used to be a child? so just in the one i can't, i can't. i can't tell about how many do you think i can't, i can't i can't have been dealing with people and we're doing this and is this. and this

the method in effecting dismounted by the records the news of the committee one low enough to hear innovate your fall. you will learn how to tradition, if you don't know, fight with distinct from the spirit with arrows. less than tradition. so if you are trying to single that is me disoriented them staple. and so that is not the case, may be critical of people who used to be fighting when they were very young, that they now go to orient. i think that's a problem. that's not a problem,

but not a problem. because yes, fiction people are taking not much of their prescriptions even if they had started when they were healthy or they're not 13. that's not a problem. the problem is that the job that the car yeah. yeah. yeah. the me, the fan guy, what are we with the fact that they were peaceful, physical framing. mm hm. ever got and resorted to use your gun because of the idea being that people can use. and what you tell me, this is where they do some english the the

down to shoot. that's got the credit. the good companies risk. i'm comment on track which company or example i'm dealing with for some time i i i

the private military industry is a part of how the country is if i tours today, um, ah, the us government doesn't track a number of contractors it uses in places iraq or afghanistan, we know it's a lot, we don't really know exactly how many i spent several years working with in the industry. i have a military background. and one of the differences between being a soldier i found and being a private military contractors that we work for the us military or any military. you take a sacred oath that you're going to serve and fight for your country as necessary, die to protect a way of life. one that you believe and i am an american soldier,

a warrior and a member of a c i. i will never accept. i will never quit. i will never leave a fallen comrade. it's the complete opposite in the private military world. you look at the budget 1st, the loyalty of these companies and these businessmen trains depending on market forces. we operate in the world's challenging complex emerging market. the middle east is absolutely the core for our business today. we care in power. we do the right thing. all this industry is not just what you see is what you get when you see a company, you don't know exactly who's working for them. they hire and they sometimes create what we call subs sub contractors. me o me

ah ah, there's been commanders and cannot stand, who just simply said, we don't know with a subs of the subs. the subs are so you have all the layers of a contract ah ah, the level or the control starts to fade quickly, the deeper you go from the top to the bottom. ah, united states army and the military in general is so reliance on the private sector . i would call the dependency. but we don't know who's the on the ground presence

of these companies overseas. we just don't know me o me . time to to this training can come together with it to 2 white men from the security company. oh, we're driving out in this small truck and what's to was to camp through this forest, the landscape not far away from from the airport. when we enter the camp and get

out of the car, the 1st thing we see is that you can, the instructor was in charge of the training of the making the recruits lined up in order to receive these guys in the past. you cared to company the lock in for from iraq with not hear from you. you should actually need to know if i thought was to what are you not on those who i will report. he's only 2 food at the top right. if i to the, to the me from a genuine texas, the iraq equipment was considered a quite good deal in the sense that they could actually take local trouble. make us something in the way to rec, for a couple of years. and then turning them after 2 years with money from the overseas

deployment. this could serve to stabilize security in the beginning of the training course, the one the real web presence. so they're using these wooden sticks the 1st couple of days into the training that the weapons arrived there being lined up at these tables within, in the middle of the camp.

tension and excitement also attention mainly because now i'm actually getting into something very well for many of the crews and the 1st time holding a weapon. since anything of the civil law the doctor many were starting to to shake and some were starting to cry when the, when the took up the weapons and not being able to to have the come back into revamp. i don't know what is coming from the bus. i know what i'm saying this when i'm thinking well now me,

when i was supposed to move on again, i should use, you know, my, my, the issue again was funny. i sort of my last were on the mean for the feel young on the husband, both mainly by young combatants alone, you're looking for young men to perform military jobs. the chances are quite good that they have also been child soldiers.

the job i need to show you that you have the mind to shoot up fishing if not every day. remember my father, my boy. next give me. oh, when i was young and a lot of things that i've seen this to her good for you. monday went because me job have you come on when this is going on

hers just before you have to do it by then you don't do dutch, you know, to have the, the the, these terrorists play by a whole set of different rules. it's going to force us in your words to get mean 30 and nasty in order to take them on, right. we'll use all tools at our disposal to do so. my name is a monarch mattie, i'm the head of a family member. can, can they attacked and killed our children, and we will never forgive them for a bit? am i what the dates was doing in afghanistan, they were bringing people to this torture sight afghans ordering and abusing them outside of the law and then allowing some of them to go back home and they would go

home and tell people this is what the americans were not looking at it was a pointless exercise for many of us, the end of the american war enough denison was inevitable. in the end, the conflict was more about a massive grip than about nation building and smart strategic thinking. joe biden says the us has done with we making foreign countries through the use. of course, there is no reason to take the american president i just learned when we think of war and the warrior who fights it, we have this image and our mind of a man in uniform. um and uniform means they're fighting as part of the military service nation, the cause that they fight for their force political patriotism. and yet when you

look at the wars of the 21st century, they don't match those assumptions anymore. now we have out source to lot of our warfare to private military companies in the background of this changing nature of war and who fights it. that dates back to the very start of the private military industry itself. 3 to be for the security industry is a dock murky industry. i outright less means to bring you down governments for the cash. mm. it up comes 1st proper, private military company. it was exactly that. it was a private company that could field a full army that had,

they had incredibly highly trained and had moved into private proper depression with corporate videos. literally saying is your executive outcomes? is a legend in this business. they formed in south africa as apartheid. and in they had a background in some of the special police forces during apartheid was elite units had death squads, some of the most controversial units in terms of their human rights record. no one down to go. they worked for oil companies. they work for governments like in gold and certainly own and this became controversial and

international committees stepped in and said, you can't hire executive outcomes. so another company called fair line international out of london. so ended up taking on some of those contracts. fedloan is the company provides military to services for governance or large corporation or at the time the idea was to get very posh english officers on top of these private military companies. and tim spicer was an officer in the military. british military got out and was asked to come help with a company called san line. what exactly comes role going to be unless we think that stream the good, extremely professional in a very good track record. there are no. ready skeletons in the cupboard,

i mean, we think we're going to write record and we would use a higher as the same people to south africa. but now they're legitimate because they are working under a contract. ready ready to spices arrival gave an almost instant. ready handles of respectability to what had previously be unless than this world. i mean i didn't personally have any difficulty with the word. most mean i just thing like the image that it comes up in most people's mind. if i tell him it tims by 1000 communion, for newspaper dashing and charming, public school educated god for them. and that really wasn't matching the feature in the industry before. then it changed agenda, the global agenda. and what problem that company was i spicer was considered a respectable hand of a mercenary organization. but at 1st there's been business affairs and didn't go to

well, it was dog to my failure. me. for example, you get a phone call from a fellow indian with a type passport who was under house arrest for a financial scandal. and he contacted tim spicer and wanted him to restore the president of sara was the president cheryl in was back in power. that guy would then get his contracts for diamonds and be able to make money, but it didn't work out that way. companies line run by tim spicer for the army, colonel. instigates by customs and excise. and he's accused of smuggling weapons illegally. when a private firm gets involved in foreign politics for the benefit of a criminal, you have to stop and ask, okay, this really happens or is this the fictitious james bond type story, but it was

a true story. these things tended to happen. often times that changed what he somehow managed to get boys with it. either was going in pop into guinea fenn, line or arrested at the airport. colonel spicer is facing firearm charges linked to his bid to provide south african trade mercury to put down the local result they were thrown out of the country, but it was, it was understood that the media is a risk, but can be turned. he had to deal with the bad publicity from visual pression, which previously would have been completely under cover. but i suppose spices either genius or stupidity was to make it public and say officially, no, this was a contract. this is the contract i signed. recently retired, bruce cannot do that. a band of messengers is safely back in this country. so has

this put him off his new career as a hide guns? are you going to continue with this new new business if it was found line international? well, i think we've got a number of lessons to learn from this particular episode. i think that we will continue to try and develop our business as long as we can do it in a let me lie and eventually lunged under the weight. and that was in the short term. you can say that was also successful company in terms of delivering an enormous amount of money to shareholders. federal. conversely, it launched to spice on a career where he was able to find what would then become one more significant problem if the company in the world

when 11 occurred, everything change the contractor content and the armed forces went up astronomically at this hour. american and coalition forces were in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, ideologically, republicans, my party wanted every single public function to be scrutinized, analyzed, evaluated, and if possible, privatized general shinseki, the head of the u. s. army at the time, testified to congress and said,

if we're going to do a rock, it's going to take several 100000 us troops. and very quickly, the rest of the bush administration react negatively. and he's absurd, that's crazy. it's not going to require those amount of troops, and they actually essentially drummed him out of the military. it turned out he was right. we did deploy several 100000 forces. it was just through private military, me. ah. ringback so in the early days of iraq, it was a gold rush. you had companies coming out of nowhere in glinda black water was really like a cowboy was last when nobody at any control. anybody doing anything with firearms in this country could say there are private military company with an atm for the

company? well, the basic idea of a contractor versus recruiting training and supporting military events is that there was a hiring across to getting married. so instead of a soldier who has an ex cost of a, you're now paying a contract or being a times $10.00. you're welcome. what has happened that america has basically married a prostitute and has been active, taking them for a very long period of time off today. for example, if you invade a country, there's going to be the fuel fuel directly like her to run this. now we will get wrong or a very the ship from using private

military contractors for understandable tasks to using private military contractors . wholesale in my view took place without much debate, and all everybody loves me. contractors offer some gray area benefits to part everybody's concern. like, do we have a 1000 boots the ground? nobody ever asks how many contractors they're they don't really care boots on the ground, which the us military wanted to put 1000 to the ground and there's 4000 contractors. it's a way of, you know, having for some 5000, but without politically risk. mm.

well they're shooting at you. you. yeah. but you didn't start to shoot for a shot and ricocheted his car, but the private security company had the sensitivity of political civilians would often if not always get caught in the crossfire. ah, what governments have always done because they will do 2 things at once. you fight

and you win hearts and minds when she comes to the ground opening fire, they were very, very noticeable. they would play rock music, but this was not, there was no subtlety. this is not a, even the military were more discreet than the pub security company. so it was, they were very, very public slap in the face for the average iraqi on a daily basis. this is a real problem for the military. so we fill the contractor presence in iraq in particular. but afghan stand to was becoming contrary to what the mission was for the armed forces. therefore their presence was more dangerous than it was held. the

september the 11th 2001 day that reshaped the modern world. i remember watching the world trade center bird on a tv at the cia and i was standing there like this just looking at it. and a colleague of mine was standing next to me and he said, my god, do they have any idea what they've done? we're going to kill everybody now. everybody, the, the live tv images promote the us into declaring its war on terror. began to bomb africa, villages, and holmes, and get people hurt and, and killed the main goal of destroying terrorism. and then was it achieved? yes. and no ok to essentially no longer exists good for us,

but there are certainly other terrorist groups that are worse than on the ahead of the anniversary of 911 art. he's been looking at the lasting impacts. the us led war on terror. a british army veteran described the devastating toll of the 20 year. ap can cut it off to many people for situation which we just gave up. also as the taliban unveils the new government for up dennis dad, including a terrorist on the f. b, i most wanted live, but washington left with no other option. it must cooperate with the uncut, incoming leadership. and the australian high court rules that media.
