11:35 am
example i'm dealing with for some time i i i the private military industry is a part of how the country is. if my tours today, um, ah, the us government doesn't track and number of contractors it uses in places iraq or afghanistan. we know it's a log. we don't really know exactly how many. ah,
11:36 am
i spent several years working with in the industry. i've a military background. and one of the differences between being a soldier i found and being a private military contractor, is that when you work for the u. s. 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. i'm a warrior and a member of a t. o. i will never accept defeat. i will never quit. i'll never leave a fallen comrade. it's the complete opposite in a private mil to world. you look at the budget 1st, the loyalty of these companies and these businessman change, depending on the market forces. we operate in the world's challenging complex
11:37 am
emerging markets. the middle east is absolutely the core for our business today. we care and powerfully perform and do the right thing on this industry is not just what you see is what you get. ah, when you see a company, you don't know exactly who's working for them. they hire and they sometimes crate will they call subs sub contractors. ah ah ah, there's been commanders in afghanistan who just simply said, we don't know who the subs of the subs the subs are. so you all the layers of
11:38 am
a contract ah ah, the level quality control starts to fade quickly. the deeper you go from the top to the bottom, ah, the 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 i me o me
11:39 am
the time i drive to to the 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 camp through this forest, the landscape not so far away from from the airport. when we enter the camps and get out of the car, the 1st thing to see is this, that you can, the instructor was in charge of the training of the making that could line up in order to receive these guys from the past. you cared to company the market for iraq. they were not hear from you. you should actually need to. the war is shallow fight. us also goes to water. you are not manase without
11:40 am
loss will know basic. i will weapon. this is all if, if without the car, the car for elevator with blue, from a see a young government perspective, the iraqi couldn't, was considered a quite good deal in the sense that they could actually take local chapel, make us setting their way to rack for a couple of years and then returning them after 2 years with money and from that overseas deployment, this could serve to stabilize security and syria. ah, i down in the beginning of the training course that will not build weapons presence. so there are using these wooden sticks with
11:41 am
1st asked the a couple of days into the training that the weapons arrived there while being lined up at these wooden tables with in the middle of the big cam. a, there was this tension and excitement also attention mainly because now it's actually he getting into something very real. i mean, for many of the recruiters, the 1st time holding a weapon since the ending of the civil law a
11:42 am
the menu 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 and i don't know what is coming from the bus. i know what i'm saying this when i'm thinking i lost are now when i was supposed to move on again, i should use you know, my, my, the show up i was i survive my last were on the
11:43 am
young, on the war husband, 4th, mainly by young alone you're looking for young men to perform military jobs. the chances are quite good that they have also been child soldiers the right job got me. 8 i need to put it in, but sure you have some of the person is not bad every day. i remember regina have
11:44 am
my father of team. i work with y'all. when i was young. that a lot of things that i did send a lot of debt, which is not good for you monday. what when they raised because i did the job, have your command on when they say go there and harass us before you have to load it by danny. don't do dutch, you too, have been killed. ah ah
11:45 am
this is so smart, city is a city that's using technology to make people's life easier, happier, collecting a lot of data to try to improve the way things are in theory, these big organizations that are now amazing and pulling all that data together. they're not looking at you as an individual, necessarily people's data being collected or so much data for that, that there's a real possibility of privacy violation. and that's something most of us wouldn't want to wells transparency. but we must live with communist surveillance.
11:46 am
when we think of war and the warrior who fights it, we have this image on our mind of a man in uniform. bmw and uniform means they're fighting as part of the military serving a 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. and now we have outsourced a 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 industry itself with
11:47 am
until the early ninety's, the for the security industry is a dr. murky industry. outright must needs to bring down governments for the cash. with. jeff comes to 1st proper, private miniature company. it was exactly that, it was a private company that could field a full all me if i had time they had so just grew incredibly highly trained and it moved into private sector with brushes, with corporate videos literally saying is your opportunity to purchase with executive outcomes is a legend in this business. they formed in south africa as apartheid.
11:48 am
and they had a background in some of the special police forces during apartheid. is elite units at death squads, some of the most controversial units in terms of their human rights records. no one, dan, if you go with they worked for oil companies, they work for governments like angola and certainly own. and this became controversial and internationally staff did and said that you can't hire executive outcomes. so another company called san line international out of london. sort of ended up taking on some of e o. 's contracts. sandlon, i is a company that provides military consultants. his house is full governments. all
11:49 am
large corporations are 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 and british military. i got out and was asked to come help with a company called san line. more executive outcomes role going to be in this. we think they're extremely good. they're extremely professional in a very good track record. there are no. ready ready skeletons and that covers it, and we think that that would bring the human rights record and we would use them for a hires. 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 sentence of respectability towards privacy be unless news world i'm not it personally having
11:50 am
difficulty with the word must me. i just don't like the image that it comes up in most people's mind. if i tell them at tim spice, i was interviewing him for newspaper dashing and charming, public school educated god's officer. and that really wasn't matching the feature ministry before then. it changed the agenda, the global agenda, and what the problem that your company was. mm. mm hm. spicer was considered a respectable head of a mercenary organization, but at 1st his business affairs didn't go to well. he was dogged by failure. for example, you got a phone call from a fellow indian with ty, passport, who was under house arrest for a financial scandal. and he contacted tim spicer and wanted him to restore the president of sharing with me once the president sherylin was back in
11:51 am
power, this guy would then get his contracts for diamonds and be able to make money. but it didn't work out that way. the company, sand blind run by tim spicer, fullborne homie cuddle is under investigation by customs and excise, but 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 happened or is this the fictitious james bond type story, but it was a true story. these things tend to happen. that seems high, sorry, often times. but he'd always somehow managed to get away with it. i don't wish to call them in pop and you're getting sand line or arrested at the airport cuddle. spicer is facing firearms charges linked to his bid to provide south african trade
11:52 am
less reason to put down a local result. they were thrown out of the country, but it was it, it seems like most ways understood that the media is a risk but can be turned. he had to deal with the bad publicity from this operation, which previously would have been completely undercover. but i suppose spices i the genius. all stupidity was to make it public and say officially, no, this was a contract. this is the contract i signed the recently retired british guy lead abandon, messengers is safely back in this country. so has his put him off his new career as a hive gun. i you gonna continue with this new new business of yours sand line international? well, i think we build a number of lessons to learn from this particular episode. i think that we will continue to trans of business as long as we can do with me. sand line eventually collapsed under the
11:53 am
weight of bad publicity. was that a failure initial term? you could say that was not a successful company in terms of delivering an enormous amount of money to showers and cycles. conversely, it launched to spice on a career where he was able to found what would then become one more significant problem as you company in the world. just who, when 911 occurred, everything changed to
11:54 am
the contractor content or as he 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 $100000.00 us troops. and very quickly, the rest of the bush administration reacted 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.
11:55 am
ah, so in the early days of iraq, it was a gold rush. you had companies coming out of nowhere in clean black water. it was really like a cowboy while law west, when nobody at any control. anybody doing anything with firearms in this country could say their private military company was an atm for these companies? well, the basic idea of a contractor versus recruiting training and supporting military bets is that there was room hiring a prosecutor getting married. so instead of a soldier who has an ex cost of a, you're now paying a contractor who is being paid $8.00 times 10. you are welcome. what has happened
11:56 am
is that america has basically married a prostitute and has been active. paying them for a very long period is almost carriers with was good example. feel a bit of feel, thought on a few things right and left her to run a very loose shift from using private military contractors for understandable to asked to using private military contractors. wholesale in my view, took place without much debate, and all everybody loves with contractors offer some gray area benefits to politicians. everybody's concern
11:57 am
like do we have a 1000 boots the ground? nobody ever asks how many contractors they're based? don't really count boots on the ground with the u. s. military wanted to put $1000.00 to the ground and there's $4000.00 contractors. it's a way of, you know, having the course of 5000, but without politically risk, with what lot they're shooting at. you make a you yes. yeah. with bank guy. so did you get a skirt suit? part of it by shot and brought up in, ricocheted in his car. but with right,
11:58 am
with the private security companies had the sensitivity of the vent bull. elephant civilians would often not always get coaching to correspond with what governments have always done because they would do 2 things at once. you fight and you win hawks and minds. private industry companies didn't think that this comes on the ground opening fight. they were very, very noticeable. they would play rock music, but you know, this was not, there was no subtlety to this. this was not a, even the military were more discreet than the prob, security. i was a very, very public slap in the face for the average iraqi on
11:59 am
a daily basis with a real problem for the military. so we fill the contractor presence in iraq in particular, but afghan too was becoming contrary to what the mission was for the armed forces. therefore their presence was more dangerous than it was help. oh, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is offensive, very dramatic and development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. it's very difficult time. time to sit down and talk
12:00 pm
a in in the stories don't shape this week. gun archie. russia shuts down the law school office of german broadcast, 3rd develop now after berlin blocks r t sr. channel r t d in germany. also a head on the program on a street and curling team member is allowed to compete at the paging winter olympics, the spike testing positive for co. but we ask if the rules are for some countries, but not for others. with 6 children are killed in northwest syria, as american commandos claim to have taken on the leader of islamic state at the same time on the same place with.
