Question
Well hummm..., I am new here (and a civilian BTW), but the topic is very interesting, could anyone give the ones who didn't watch the documentary, a brief idea of what are those "contractors"?, what they do, are they legal, are they Private Mercenaries Armies that conduct Direct Actions, or ex military guys working as consultants for Governments, Arms dealers (legal or ilegal), security or technology companies, using their contacts and expeience?
Maybe some have the idea of an EO operative (or agent, or specialist, customer support personnel or whatever they call themselves) with leopard spot camouflage, beard and a beret in the jungles of Africa taken from the 60s-and 70s mercs, but obviously today it must be something a lot more complex, so... please share opinions.
One more thing, is it "...so forth" or "...so fourth"? (I dont think those merc guys have to be the 4th in the line or or wait for the 4th attempt, to be hired by a company, just kidding nevermind)
