Shadow Company is always worth a watch.

Documentary on PMC's in Iraq, the industry and where warfare is going in the next 5 years.

Theres a wealth of interesting material out there about this topic, its essentially the new wild west.

What shocked me was that the Taliban were getting pretty close with their shots. That sniper :eek: Or the RPG that hit right next to them.

They also tried to shoot down the med evac heli. You also got the feeling throughout it how close the Taliban actualy were.

very close a lot of the time, if you get the chance watch ross kemps in Afghanistan and return to Afghanistan documents well the close fighting, either urban or even closer int he rural environment when clearing vegetation/crops

there are some good videos about will try and dig them up

edit: found one ( warning, graphic content at one point )

I've been trying to find a copy of that for a while now.

Where did you see it do you mind me asking? If the method you obtained it is only legal in Somalian waters you needn't reply to save yourself the trouble.
