Mercenary organisations?

Question

Apart from Blackwater and the French Foreign Legion are there any other mercenary units out there that don't take special forces and soldiers with 10 years plus experience?

What about an International Brigade? During the Yugoslavian war there was an International Brigade, are there any similar outfits anywhere in the world today?

I have a year and a half British Army experience but I'm looking for action not ironing my underpants 10 hours per day.

Answer 1

There are other organizations in the US similar to Blackwater. But they are not exactly "Mercenary units". Try NEK, Dynacorp, and Triple Canopy.

Answer 2

Blackwater is not a mercenary company

They are body guards, security guards and trainers.

They do not carry out combat operations.

Answer 3

A school boys dream.

Answer 4

Troll, troll, anybody seen a troll????????

Mate there is no way you are in the British Army, those poor buggers are being deployed all the tim to shite holes and getting shot at daily.

Plus the French Foreign Legion is not a mercenary unit, they are part of the French Army, which you would know if you were a real soldier.

Answer 5

Blackwater is contracted by the U.S. government, not employed by the Republic of Iraq (unless someone knows something I don't - I would entertain the enlightenment).  Not mercenaries.
