Whether you call them private military firms, private military companies, or mercenaries, essentially they are private-owned industries that offer up their lives for military services. Now, obviously they sign contracts for large sums of money, so they're not just throwing their lives away. And at the same time, many of them are trained professionals who recently retired from the military.
What are your thoughts on them? Personally, I dislike the fact that they promote the violation of human rights through the use of torture and un-warranted murders, but that's just me. At the same time, I dislike how the United States de-legitamizes itself through using them.
How bout you?
