History channel had a 2 hour special on it last night thats what made me post this.
Figures. That was a horrible "documentary." For a portrayal of PMCs in the 60s and 70s, it was good .. if you believe you learned anything about PMCs of today, you are highly mistaken.

Some of these companies wont even return your call if you dont have at least 4 years of special forces under your belt.
Name them. You mentioned DynCorp .. their main hiring pool are cops. KBR was mentioned .. not all former SOF operators. MPRI, mostly former GOs, and made quite the mess down in Columbia, requiring US SF to clean it up. Blackwater recruits more than former SOF operators as well.

They are basically massive special forces units that answer only to money and their employers.
There is a difference between PMCs, PSCs and Mercs.

This is why I said you have no clue as to what you are talking about, because you do not.
