their arduous jobs in Iraq, where they serve on security teams, protecting

The pay for PMC's in dangerous places like Iraq is
generous. Experienced people can make $500-750 a day. But it's not all for
the money, for many its a new career path that has a sense
of duty for country while helping to assist in building a
new democracy.
After
the first Gulf War the US military went through a massive Reduction in
Force, sharply reducing our forces, leaving hundreds of thousands of
soldiers without employment. Many of them went on to work for the FBI,
CIA, DEA, Border Patrol, etc.; others joined police departments, went into
security and many started their own companies, doing what they knew best:
providing security or training others to do the same.

After the Sept.11
attacks business for these small firms exploded, prompted by corporate
executives and government officials who wanted to bolster their security
overseas. But it was the occupation of Iraq that brought explosive growth
to the young industry. America simply doesnt have a military that can
support long term or multiple conflicts around the world. The answer;
Private Military Contractors.
