  • We uncover the bloody truth of the world's most successful private army, Executive Outcomes. Sent wherever mineral resources like diamonds or oil promise wealth, these mercenaries, trained as soldiers in apartheid-era South Africa and equipped with state-of-the-art weapons of war, sell their security services to the highest bidder and frequently leave a trail of destruction in their wake. And British interests are behind it all.

    My father fought in the South African border war. He was part of Koevoet. They were a counter insurgency unit. After the war ended he was approached by his ex war buddies who joined Executive Outcomes. Because our family needed the cash he went. I remember being around these guys. I can't imagine them being fighters because at that age they were like my uncles. My dad left a year before EO ended. He then moved to doing IT and that is his passion.

      @@Antipodean33 What a ludicrous position to take. You have just watched a documentary containing peoples families, comrades and journalist talking about them in the third person, you have just watched it yourself and by your logic their business is none of yours and finally you assume that this person's experience, as they relate it isn't theirs to talk about. They didn't mention their father's name, not even their own. I served in SF and my children or wife are free to relate that to people as they see fit. If there is something I don''t want them to relate I don't tell them in the first place.
      If you think what people do in war is their business then don't be a hypocrite and watch docos about them.

    Long before these guys there was Colonel 'Mad' Mike Hoare. He( or a representative) would come to attempt to recruit mercenaries for the Congo and other areas on demob days at the end of our military service in the sixties.
    Mercenaries could earn $20000 dollars a month then, equivalent to about 200000 in todays buying power. One of the earliest and most successful soldiers of fortune. I sometimes wonder whether joining him for a year would have been life-altering.

And it don't surprise me or many that the western world has a company like this, with association with govts like the UK and the US. Atleast the Russians do only what is legal and only goes where it is invited. Oh, and leaves when asked, not like the US who once in a country it is very hard to get rid of them. For instance Germany who wanted (asked) the US to go in 2014, Syria who they are also stealing the oil from the fields they "guard"" from ISIS who they own anyway. Then Japan, been occupied for nearly ever, South Korea. They even occupy part of China, as Taiwan is part of China and the US agrees with that and it is stated on their embassy website. I could full the page and more with more examples.

    • @Adamroable
      @Adamroable หลายเดือนก่อน +13

      One of the big issues is Western (and more recently eastern) countries want extraction deals where they get 95+% of the profit. If the government says no, they could expect blacklisting from any banking deals, sanctions, and ultimately a coup. The next leader would be hand picked by the west. The saudis play ball, Iran doesn't. Both have rights issues, but we only have issues with one.

My best friend dad who served and left to join a private company made money off vip protection and extractions in iraq started a private security armed response unit in cape town I joined the company saved lots of lives and fell inlove with small arms and ARs now I live in Dubai 6 years and train Dubai police. I will always be thankful not to long ago in a popular beach club called barasti lol was asked by Albanian mercenaries to join them.

      "Owned by Pigs" Reminiscent of the book 'Animal Farm' modeling the joys of egalitarian communism. Where all animals are equal, but after the revolution overthrew the oppressor, the sheep discover some animals are more equal than others.
      Rather reminiscent of the Marxist terrorists of the ANC, with Winnie Mansella and other ANC freedom fighters "necklacing" blacks that wouldn't fall in line after the ANC was in control delivering Marxist utopia to the now freed sheep.
      "Never saw violent Marxist terrorists ever do that before!", said nobody ever.

They were also by no means a fan of him. He might have been portrayed as this larger than life charismatic man , but the truth was that he was a power hungry ego maniac and a ruthless murdering son of bitch. Had it not been for the role of convenience or necessity he played , there were several occasions where certain high ranking military people had to be held back or even restrained from putting a bullet between his eyes because of his behavior towards his own people and on the battlefield.
