false
you could join one of those private security companies, which are filled with a$$holes............but they are NOT part of or well liked by the us armed forces.
"Late one Saturday afternoon in May, a convoy of American private security were arested by US Marines for shooting their weapons. Marines claimed the contractors fired on both U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians.
All 19 of the Zapata convoy were imprisoned in small, 6 ft. by 8 ft. cells dressed in orange prison garb for three days.
Some of the security convoy said the Marines also roughed up the contractors before taking them to jail and that they were slammed down on the concrete one by one, bruising some pretty badly.
Contractors also say they were treated badly in other ways. One of the contractors, Rick Blanchard whose home is in Shelbyville, Tenn., said a Marine put a knee to his neck and applied his full body weight as another cut his boots off
Twenty or 30 other Marines
watched and laughed, he added, as
a uniformed woman with a military dog snapped photographs. Taunts were made about the large salaries
of private security contractors, which are often more than $100,000 a year -- sometimes more than $200,000.
The gathering crowd of Marines was saying things like “how is that contractor money now,” said Blanchard, a Marine veteran."
as an Iraq vet....I laughed my ballz off reading that story, screw those f%$Ws

Sure thing Ace.
I'm willing to sell my 10% interest in the Golden Gate Bridge. Make me an offer, it's worth more and you don't get shot at.

We don't call them mercenaries. We call them Private Military Companies...an over $100 billion a year industry. See site below.

Being in the military for another country or being a "mercenary" can cost you your citizenship.
