    He starts the video complaining that people think mercenaries are bad, but then 30 seconds later says that mercenaries don’t care about ethics.

    First 30 seconds. “Yeah some people say we are evil people but we only do evil if we are paid for it”

    A lot of this was about as I expected for a mercenary, what actually shocked me was when he said he&apos;s in his 60s?! He looks surprisingly good for a former alcoholic gun for hire.

    When a merc guy like this says he was offered a job that he turned down because of his morality, makes you wonder how bad that must&apos;ve been..

    One does not simply “drive through Fallujah.”

    He begins by contextualising mercernaries committing war crimes as agencies/private companies &quot;using them for nefarious purposes&quot;. That&apos;s quite literally the Nuremburg defense.

    I&apos;m so old, I automatically thought this was going to be about &quot;Executive Outcomes&quot; from the &apos;80-90&apos;s Africa

    Remember kids, there is NO justification to put ethics to the side and the people who argue like that are either knowingly evil or too cowardly to accept responsibility.

    I worked for Triple Canopy. I did convoy protection, so basically we took stuff from A to B. We had two fire fights. First one we took fire from the front of the convoy, our team opened fire and dude ran away. Second one we had to stop for a possible IED. We took fire, shot back. Our QRF went up and dude got zip tied and we turned him in. Other than that my first job was 3 months and I was paid 115k and second one was 150k for 4 months.
