This is just sick and wrong. Remember, people, these are our tax dollars playing British Empire here.... our tax dollars --> government contracts -->Corporations --> African mercenaries.

10,000 Ugandans to Get Iraq, US Jobs

At least 200 Ugandan youths on Saturday signed up for security work in Iraq and at American installations worldwide.

The Ugandans who go to Iraq will be deployed to guard public and private installations in the war-ravaged country where the United States forces continue to battle local insurgents.

A local law firm, Hall & Partners, is working in collaboration with a local security firm, Aktar Security Services, on the recruitment exercise, which is targeting 10,000 people in three years.

Mr Bob Kasango, a lawyer with Hall & Partners, said the firm was hired by the World Wide Special Operations (WWSO), who work for and closely with the US government and other international organisations like the World Bank, Coca Cola, and Microsoft Corporation to provide security.

9. I knew it

I friggin' knew this is what they would do to compensate for the failure to meet recruitment targets. La Légion Étrangère, à l'Américaine ! The American Empire is going to fight its wars of conquest with third world mercenaries, private military companies and unmanned aerial vehicles. It's Rummy's "Revolution in Military Affairs".
