the i, b, b, c was the us to the left. iraq continues to maintain ohio in the country with the largest us to see in the world situation. and again, this is into the crucial for each national dream under control which the afghan forces, the security situation remains critical in the country to have. i mean, we are now supply in your mind. so yeah, like how about if i as if i already move our friends most of us again, some of them they have ordered and left off. i'm going to day enough. i don't right now making money. we lose money when i

get to missions in was one area like my power. so how, how many of the person that you're sending out used to be a child? so just in the, when i got there and i can't, i can't tell about how many do you think i can't i can't have been dealing with many people and we're doing this and it is this. and this the method in acting dismounted by the office as a quote ah, ah

low enough to hear you know, a full you will learn how to use the tradition if you don't know for it with the, from the spirit with arrows less than the tradition. so if you are trying to think about this from the saudi in to them say political insulin for that isn't the case . may be critical of people who used to be fighting when they were very young, that they now go to war and think that's a problem. not that's not a problem. another problem because yes, fiction people taking not from us much prescription even if they have started when they were healthy or they're not 13. that's not a problem. not a problem. is that the job that the car to his car yeah. yeah. the

the fan god to what was the room they were peaceful, physical framing in jam ever got and we voted to use the guidelines because of the idea being that people will come and what you're telling them is what they do on the, on english the down to should, that's what they've got. the credit, the companies recon come on contract that we sometime on me

or example i'm dealing with for some time i i i the private military industry is a part of how the country is in my tours today. um, ah, the us government doesn't track the number of contractors it uses in places iraq or afghanistan. we know it's a log. we don't really know exactly how many i've

spent several years working within 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 when we work for the us military or any military, you take his 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. i'm a warrior and a member of a team. i. i will never accept defeat. i will never quit. i will never leave a fallen comrade. it's the complete opposite in a private military world. you look at the budget 1st, the loyalty of these companies and these businessmen change depending on market forces. we operate in the world's challenging come like emerging market. the middle

east is absolutely poor for our business today. or we care in power. we do the right thing. 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. oh the there's been commanders and staff who just simply said, we don't know who the subs of the subs the subs are. so you have all the layers of

a contract ah ah, level quality control starts to fade quickly. the deeper you go from the top to the bottom, ah, united states army and the military in general. 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 i me, oh. ready me

time to to this training can come together with it to 2 white men from from the security company. oh, we're driving out in this small truck and what's was to come through this far as the landscape, not so far away from from the airport. when we enter the camp and get out of the car, the 1st thing to 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 from the past. you cared to company the lock in for iraq. they were not hear from you. like you said, i need to know if i thought it was not on

those who i was rep on. he's only 2 food at the top right. if i had to return the me from a chair, young, 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 with turning them after 2 years with money from the overseas deployment, this could serve to stabilize security on me in the beginning of the training course, the one the real weapon presents. 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 wooden tables within, in the middle of the big camp. tension and excitement also attention mainly because now i'm actually getting into something very real from any 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, not being able to to have the come batting for example. i don't know what is coming from the bus. i thought a whipping up, and i've seen this when i'm thinking or now when i was supposed to move on again, i should use, you know, if my id showing up i again was finally i saw my last where on the

the young on the husband, 4th mainly by young combatants alone looking for young men to perform military jobs. the chance was quite good that they had also been charles soldiers. the red me. ah. the old didn't show you that you have the money to shoot up fishing if not every day. remember my father,

you know, i don't give me oh, when i was young. a lot of things that i didn't send this to her good for you monday days because her job have you come on when you go on hers just before you have to do it by then you don't do dutch. you to have the to the dentist thing in the koran attributed to the prophet mohammed, the dreams, a threefold. sometimes they represent divine guidance, sometimes sorrow from the devil, and sometimes there about the conflict of dated living and past events. this applies also to women's rights in afghanistan, today,

encouraged in the past to live out their dreams of being fully fledged human beings, african women. and now being told that this amounts to satanic possession when they turn to and on, what can they count in this time of existential struggle, ah, ah, the pacific leg, around the world expedition 5000 miles round the clock and the dead calm. miss wilson in every country close by like the crew, gavin's food and one or 2 to chat for

a show. the little boy in the little thing is got everybody locked down or almost no food and no water that only give them up. so somebody either stuck a fish in the cove, it, you're living like the female of own but in the 21st century i the when we think of war and the warrior who fights it, we have this image and our mind 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. until the early ninety's, the for the security industry is adult murky industry. i mean, to bring down governments for the cash. mm hm. comes

to the proper private military company. it was exactly that. it was a private company that could field a full all the time. they had incredibly highly trained and had moved into a private depression with corporate videos literally saying in your executive outcomes is a legend in this business they formed in south africa as apartheid ended in they had a background in some of the special police forces during apartheid elite units, i've had death squads, some of the most controversial units in terms of the human rights records. no

one down to go. they worked for oil companies, they work for governments, i can gola and certainly own. and this became controversial and the international committee stepped in and said, you can't hire executive outcomes. so another company called van line international out of london. so ended up taking on some of those contracts. federline is a company that provides military consultancy services for governments 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 law executive comes row going to be in this we think

they're extremely good, extremely professional in a very good track record. there are no. ready ready skeletons in the cupboard, is it? well, i mean, we think to bring a team rights record and we would use the hires the same people to south africa, but now they're legitimate because they're working under a contract. ready in spice's arrival, gave an almost instant samples of respectability toward previously be immersed. well, i don't personally have any difficulty with the word must be added to the image that it comes up in most people's mind. if i tell him it comes by 1000 communion, for newspaper, dashing and charming, public school educated guards officer. and that really wasn't matching the feature ministry before then. it changed the agenda, the global agenda. and what problem that you company was

i, jim spicer, was considered a respectable hand of a mercenary organization, but at 1st his business affairs didn't go too well. he was dogged by 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 cheryl was the president, sierra leone was back in power. this guy would then get his contracts for diamonds and to be able to make money. but it didn't work out that way. the company line run by tim spicer fall behind the colonel, 150 gigs by customs and excise, and he's acute 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 happened or is this fictitious? james bond type story, but it was a true story. these things tend to happen often times that he always somehow managed to get boys with the other respond in talking to guinea, arrested at the airport. spicer is facing firearms charges linked to his to provide south african trades mercury to put down a local result. they were thrown out of the country, but it was by some ways understood. the media is a risk, but to be turned, he had to deal with the bad publicity from this operation which

previously would have been completely undercover. 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 the recently retired. bruce can lose that . a band of messengers is safely back in this country. so has this put him off his new career as a hive 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, those in a central let me stand in july and eventually to land under the weight. and that was not a failure in the short term. you could say that was also successful company in terms of delivering an enormous amount of money to his shareholders. conversely, it launched tim spice on a career where he was able to find what will then become one significant problem as

a 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 are 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. ah, so in the early days of iraq, it was a gold rush. you had companies coming out of nowhere, including black water,

was really like a cowboy. why last? when nobody at any control, anybody doing anything with firearms in this country could say there are private military company, was an atm, this company the basic idea of a contractor versus recruiting training and supporting military events is that there is a hiring process to getting married. so instead of a soldier who has an ex cost of a, you're not paying a contract or being a times $10.00. what has happened is that america has basically married and prosper and has been active, taking them for a very long period of time today. for example, if you invade a country, they've been appeals, i've known a few of the rest of this. now we

will get wrong or very the hip 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 laughed. contractors offer some gray area benefits to politicians. everybody's concern, like do we have a 1000 boots the grant? nobody ever asks how many contractors there. there's don't really care boots on the ground, which the us military wanted to put $1000.00 in the ground and there's $4000.00 contractors. it's a way of, you know, having for some 5000, but without politically risk. the

shooting at you. you yeah. local bank. it didn't go to part of it. i shot in front of him. ricocheted his car, but the right the, the private security company had the sensitivity of the letter for 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 will hop to mind when she comes to the ground opening fire, they were very, very noticeable. they would play rock music, but you know, this was not, there was no subtlety. this is not a, even the military were more discrete than the prob, security company. and what they was, they were very, very public slack in the face for the average rocky 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. ah, me and i make no borders and my number is emerge. we don't have authority, we don't actually, the whole world leads to take action and be ready. people are the judge, governors crisis. we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges to response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we

need together in the this weekend home, the 20th anniversary of the 911 terror attack, the f. b. i released the declassified document and carried out the atrocity with the files. so essentially repeating known facts, adding no insulation on possible saudi involvement. reports suggest to us mistakenly targeted an afghan aid worker in a drone striking killing 10 members of one family. we hear from a former american drug operator who tells us of his own experiences, killing innocent people. every shot that we turn like they're cheering their congratulating each other. they're high fiving each other. people are getting promot.
