I wanted to watch but I was working in the garage and forgot it was on. Did they only profile the British? It's interesting to see how the British, American and Israeli mercs all accomplish the same job very differently. I've done some work with the guys from Blackwater. They're mostly ex-Special Forces, Marine Recon, Seals, etc. Real badasses. They're making mega-cheese, doing mainly VIP protection, in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We got an offer last year to go over. They are paying $160,000.00 a year to go to Iraq or $120,000.00 for Afghanistan. It's tax free, plus all living expenses are paid. It is a two-year commitment. So, if we made it back, $320,000.00 would be waiting. Not bad money for training Iraqi Special Services Forces, and no real combat. Mrs. Grizzly said no go.
