Superpower for Hire: Rise of the Private Military


Published on Jul 24, 2014 by VICE

Vice takes an unprecedented look into the shadowy industry of Private Military Companies. For the past two decades these private companies, like Black Water, Aegis and G4S have silently consumed military operations around the world, doing everything from back end logistics, protection of government VIP’s and diplomats to actual combat duties. In this documentary we explore the origins of this industry, their rise in the war on terror and their future operations around the world.

  1. “In this documentary we explore the origins of this industry, their rise in the war on terror and their future operations around the world.”

    Funny how their “rise in the war on terror” coincides with the rise of ‘terrorism’ itself.

    Merely coincidence, I’m sure.
