Blackwater
Reading a really interesting book about the rise of private armies and the increase in mercenary armies that are being empoyed by governments.
Quite interesting I didnt realize that their were around 100 mercenary armies involved in Iraq and similar in Afghanistan.
Also Blackwater earned over a billion dollars last year from US government. Which is crazy...
Only read 50 pages but so far really good.
I am totally against privatization of armies. They've never been good but in the past it was just small armies doing dirty work in s.america, asia or africa. But now they are armies of 30,000 etc which is totally nuts...
I'll give a little review once I finished...
