- GUNS FOR HIRE -- AFGHANISTAN is a highly topical 46 min. documentary about the secretive world of private military companies.
One of the highlights of GUNS FOR HIRE -- AFGHANISTAN is a unique interview in Kabul's Polecharki jail with the infamous American prisoner Jack Idema -- an ex Marine Special Forces soldier who turned rogue. Jack was hunting for Bin Ladin in the hope of winning the 2 million dollars U.S. award offered for Bin Laden's head by the Bush Administration. Eventually, Afghan authorities arrested Idema on charges of kidnapping people and interrogating them in a private prison.

“It was 4 years since the Taliban were kicked out of Kabul”. This aged well
i mean they were kicked whats wrong
sure did🤣
dude this shit is fucking hilarious to watch now knowing how it ended
now they have kabul and more firepower than ever
Came for “this aged well” comments.
Thank you Sir.
"Trained killers"? Bruh the first dude literally almost shot himself lol
@Jonathan lmfao
@Jonathan 😆
It hard to believe that most of these guys are ex military, even harder to believe some are commandos. Watching these guys flagging each other with their rifles in the vehicles. One guy with his finger in the trigger guard while driving. Just seems like a lack of discipline. I shoot with ex military, you don’t step out of line like that with crappy muzzle control.
yo that misfire so hard it hit like 3 ft right infront of him!
They didn't say who they are trained to kill. LOL

I'm a former US Marine and civilian cop and worked in Afghanistan for over five years as a contractor, from Herat to Jalalabad. Advising and security. Worked around a lot of fellow security contractors from many countries. Some were really good, and some not so much. Overall a good bunch of guys. I gotta say, I miss the work. Good money and travel.
What are some big key differences between how our military operates and how a private military company? I've always been curious.
MERCENARY, KILL FOR MONEY.
Toyota seems to have a very thriving business in Afghanistan.
Jan Hollon third world loves Toyota’s . They run forever, cheap compared to a Land Rover or Chevy, simple design and easy to fix, parts are readily available. Few new Toyota’s there, lots of 25 yr old yota’s, hilux and land cruisers Most of the big money western contractors used new, beefed up suburbans or Yukon’s. Brits and aussies liked the Land Cruisers.

Is that why they said Militaries are worried about loosing their best men to these agencies? Just like everything...Military included there's John Wayne Fuck ups, no ones immune to it. I'm sure there's some that don't need the honor gimmick, more so the $$, they have all this useless training to civilian life so may as well exploit it after whatever respected Military are done exploiting it.

Atleast that brit was honest about only having 2 minor firefights in Iraq. I was expecting him to say he had to save the SAS from Saddamns Special Forces whilst storming a Palace.
The most frequent number people say when they lie is 2.
How many drinks did you have before you drove from the bar?
2
How many times did you see her?
2
I would not be surprised if it turned out that he lied about these firefights.
The reason people often say 2 is that 1 is to suspicious and seems like the obvious lie.
While 2 "seems" more honest because they are admitting more guilty action than 1.
3 or more is too much and would get you to much attention.
Two is the number of lies.
Exactly, most of their “special forces experience” is bs. Least that guy was somewhat honest (most likely he was never in any firefights).
@blate dake lmao.
28 years in the army, only saw 2 firefights. Must have been one boring career. Safe though.

I thought they were the same. They both run away from the fight, and not towards it.
@@garyfontenot2786 depends on the operation
@@tobiasreaper3650 Private security is not the military. Legally they cannot be an offensive force.
They are not against pivate paramilitary service for tasks such as security, they are against private military firms being paid to do the job of the government and be sent to war instead of the official military. The invasion of Iraq started in 2003, 150 000 US troops, or more I think. Then by 2007 half of the US forces in Iraq were mercenaries doing the dirty job of the government and committing war crimes. The thing is, those mercenaries who committed war crimes did not face any charges because international law doesn't apply to them like it applies to normal soldiers

Yes. Point your gun at the driver in case he tries to leave you behind so you can shoot him. ;)
Thank you for picking this up. I'm a gun safety nazi and i think that's ok.
jayonez13 well in training its bad to do that, but in actual combat scenarios you wouldn't even think nor care about it when getting shot at.
Please read the whole thing where will you go if you
were to die
heaven or hell? if it's heaven why do you
believe you would go to heaven , if you say that
because you are a good person
then that is not right
we have all sinned and
are going to hell because of it
and we can not do anything about it that's the bad
news. the good news is even though we can't do
anything about it, but the Lord God did something
about it the Lord God sent his son the Lord Jesus to die on the
cross
for our sins and for the penalty of sin which is
death and after three days being dead the Lord God
raised him up from the dead and if you repent towards
God and put faith in his Son you
shall be saved.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.
Also, you must confess with your mouth, that Jesus
Christ is Lord
and believe in your heart that God raised, him from
the dead.

@@dogboy0912
What I was going to say - depends on how you define 'firefight' and differentiating between getting shot at, shooting at someone and getting it the fuck on. Had some 2-way shooting incidents, training Iraqi police, but having been in an actual 'firefight' before, I wouldn't characterize any of those incidents as such.
@@user-td1zo3tv9p
Most gunfights are a bunch of guys hiding behind a wall doing the Mogadishu machinegun, at a bunch of guys hiding in a ditch, doing the Mogadishu machinegun, until someone runs away. Yes, that can be pretty boring.
To be fair he's Ex Gren Guards, so counting to 2 is an effort.
I just posted time same comment lol ... I would bet probably none but two sounded cool 😎
Could've been a good doc if they had only done their research on Idema - his military background was not Special Forces; he was in the supply section for the Special Forces. He owned a paint-gun business, Idema Combat, which he later promoted as a paramilitary organization. He was sued by an ex- for infecting her with HIV and he died in Mexico in 2012.

Jesus, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near these guys running those “drills” unless there was at least a vehicle between us. Their muzzle and trigger discipline is worse than my 7 year old nephew’s. They’re almost as likely to kill their own as they are anyone else. I know this was filmed back in ‘05 and there was a lot of people wanting to get in and get nice pay day and they’re in a hard and dangerous environment but that doesn’t excuse their shitty weapon discipline, especially in drills. If they’re in the heat of battle in a fire fight it’d be slightly understandable (though still not excusable), but they’re not..
I hope they all made it out okay, but I would like to know how things went for them.
Dude I thought the same shit that training was a joke . When the guy with the foward mounted eotech dismounted that suv he damn near stuck his muzzle device in the drivers ear ! 😂
Probably dead tbh 🤣
I genuinely think Americans grow up learning gun safety and to never point a gun at someone you aren't ok with shooting and never have your finger on the trigger until you're ready to shoot.
I'm not saying these British, Australian etc soldiers don't know more than me but when it comes to basic gun safety WTF man
I think often these roles attract the misfits and dishonourably discharged.
Thats what i taught mt kids at 7 years old. Also taught them to never touch a gun they weren't familiar with.
You will get flagged in country.
Mostly nobodies ex PTI ..so not a soldier.... fantasy commandos ... never served... so no REAL infantry here
Most of them are not soldiers,if so they have been at the motorpool or something cuz a drill sargeant would beat in some common gun sense that would never be forgotten or fellow soldiers would do it....

i like how you can see the sand kick up from all the shots their missing.
They’re
Could also be from the bullets passing through the target. It can look like they're missing if the camera is to the side of the shooter.

jonathan "jack" idema was released from afghan prison in april 2007 after serving 3 years and would later die from AIDS related complications in mexico during 2012, no one came forward to claim his body
The guy desperately wanted to be a hero... But wanting to be one and actually being one are not the same thing. Valor stealing piece of $h!t.
These guys need remedial training
And a few need psych evals
@Johnny Dong For one, they keep flagging each other and themselves, ignoring trigger discipline (these two make a great combo!) and generally handling their firearms in an extremely dangerous manner. The leader fellow definitely needs a psych eval, just listen to the way he conducts himself during that interview. Or better yet, read up on his past. He's a deluded jackass.
This team is an absolute train wreck. They are liabilities, every single one of them.
Ditto - big time ditto!
They certainly AREN’T the Rhodesian Light Infantry, that’s for sure!😂
Reed International pays $200.00 a day, working or off duty. They hold $50.00 a day while you are in-country and you get that as a bonus after completion of a tour. The biggest complaint is that the weapons are pretty ratty that are supplied.
I spat my coffee out laughing for their stupidity... during actual live training they were dousing down range with 10% accuracy, even saw some rounds impact literally in the dirt in front of these stooges and the thing that finally made me die on the inside was complete lack of safety- half these idiots flashed each other especially when jumping in the vehicle and at the driver no less. What a freak show
These guys are not typical Private Military Contractors.
Most PMC's are ex-special forces or have 3-5 years of combat expirience
Yeah these are low grade low pay cannon fodder
10:01 “when I’m not in this environment, I am a horrible and nasty person”. So he is a psychopath. The reaction the reporter has is genuine like “am I really hearing this?”
the men who thrive in this kind of work usually are monsters
@@zambonibob2026 you need monsters to fight monsters
@@crispy2429 The only master these guys have is the green stuff. The taliban often buys out and uses mercenaries.
Well i was reading some anecdotes from ex marines and french foreign legion, and they have those guys in very low regard, most of them just seeing those mercenaries as rapist and civilian killers
@@breadman2983 Haven’t heard of western contractors fighting for the Taliban, can you provide sources?
What a joke. 😂 Tea cupping a pistol, running around with you vest loose, and dude was in 2 small firefights and talks like he's a seasoned vet..... SMH
Shocking weapon handling and drills...bad times.
Reporter : How many firefights have you been to?
Bald dude : **sighs**
(Me thinking he's gonna say too many to count)
Bald dude : 2
Me : Well that was anti climatic as fuck 😂😂😂😂
if its done right there is nothing wrong with tea cupping
If you can count them at fourth your getting a late start
he was honest about it, that counts for something.
i remember when i grew up back in the 70s and 80s when sandy gall made the same kind of documentaries,about the mujahadein fighting the russians ,all for opium ,the worlds strrets are full of the drugs that come from afghan,nothing much has changed except that i have got older ,atb from scotland
I don’t think I would want these guys protecting me
"How many firefights have you been to?"
"Eeh... probably two"
Ok. :D
Juha I well at least he was honest I guess most would lie and say way more than that

Yeah, they definitely picked the word company to film. There are American ones which require you do be SOF, crazy how many there are nowadays though.
I work for a private contracting company and all I can say is these clowns are what has ruined the job. My company you must be former member of sof community and even after you prove that you must show you know what your doing. Back when these days when this was made there were a ton of shady dudes sneaking by and low standards by companies in cash grabs. Perfect example is the arrogant fools at the end jack idema. Just look him up everything he says is bullshit

"I leave Ed to his God and his guns," sneered the smug man, taking advantage of Ed's security, time, and generosity.

After watching this and seeing all of the mistakes these fools make while handling firearms, I looked up the reporter and he works for CNN. Which leads me to wonder...
Wonder what bro?
@@johnathangunzzesq.7168 I don't really "wonder". I believe this is all nonsense. None of it is real, NONE OF IT... The Costa Rican Army is trained better than these fools.

250 a day? I got brickies on my site making that for stone work. They start at 8 and finish by 3 and don't have to avoid any IED's on the way to work...Trade in your bomb vests for hi-vis ones ;)
Bullshit
@REAL WU-DANG ok vegan illuminati
Call bullshit on this one too. As if people laying bricks for 7 hours gives them more than 250. Now this is also assuming it's after tax. And idk how tax works anywhere else but in Europe, they take like 50% of your wage. So idk where the hell you work that brick layers get 500 bucks a day.
Doubt me all you like. Stone work is not the same as Brickwork. It doesn't come up often but when it does it pays very well.
Or a Crane Operative, 279/day. His slinger gets 150.
With regards to Tax: they are self employed so have to pay tax on top.
With regards to being self employed: they do not get sick pay, or holiday pay if out of work.
Still I would rather take a chance losing a job then taking a bullet.
The building trade pays very well, instead of calling me a liar, try calling a plumber or sparky in for a few hours and comment here if you still think I am lying.
@REAL WU-DANG Yes most building site operatives are very fit.
One scaffi mate of mine spends all day grafting, then hits the gym after for body building.
How it works for the good money is you take a price job.
Friend of mine did two tours as a private contractor in Afghanistan a while after he got out of the military. Also multiple military deployments in Iraq. Great guy if you grew up with him but unfortunately a certified combat adrenaline junkie with a very short fuse prone to extreme anger. Now he's a US Marshall assigned to high level cases. Go figure.
Americans being hired to treat their citizens the way they treat overseas citizens during their military deployments, is this divine justice?
You said it best, that's what combat veterans are adrenaline junkies. They like adrenaline like world leaders and high-ranking business executives like oil and poppy fields. I also like how you note he wasn't always like that and is rewarded with a trivial rank for being a good house slave
I use to play this game all the time as a kid.
Bruh that dude had me dying when he was making his shooting effects 🙈💀

To add, Jack Idema died of AIDS in Mexico in 2012.
I like how one of the guys was talking about how some people weren’t wearing the right body armour and I only saw about 5 guys even wearing ballistic vests let alone decent ones !
The asian guy didnt even have his plate carrier strapped on 💀
