Executive Outcomes: A Mercenary Army For Hire In South Africa | The War Business (1997) | Full Film

We uncover the bloody truth of the world's most successful private army, Executive Outcomes. Sent wherever mineral resources like diamonds or oil promise wealth, these mercenaries, trained as soldiers in apartheid-era South Africa and equipped with state-of-the-art weapons of war, sell their security services to the highest bidder and frequently leave a trail of destruction in their wake. And British interests are behind it all.

    My father fought in the South African border war. He was part of Koevoet. They were a counter insurgency unit. After the war ended he was approached by his ex war buddies who joined Executive Outcomes. Because our family needed the cash he went. I remember being around these guys. I can't imagine them being fighters because at that age they were like my uncles. My dad left a year before EO ended. He then moved to doing IT and that is his passion.

You have just watched a documentary containing peoples families, comrades and journalist talking about them in the third person, you have just watched it yourself and by your logic their business is none of yours and finally you assume that this person's experience, as they relate it isn't theirs to talk about. They didn't mention their father's name, not even their own. I served in SF and my children or wife are free to relate that to people as they see fit. If there is something I don''t want them to relate I don't tell them in the first place. If you think what people do in war is their business then don't be a hypocrite and watch docos about them.

    Whatever the eff you say, yea they were great killers, lovey chaps that never dispatched the innocent hell no because they always knew who was the enemy. And it don't surprise me or many that the western world has a company like this, with association with govts like the UK and the US. Atleast the Russians do only what is legal and only goes where it is invited. Oh, and leaves when asked, not like the US who once in a country it is very hard to get rid of them. For instance Germany who wanted (asked) the US to go in 2014, Syria who they are also stealing the oil from the fields they "guard"" from ISIS who they own anyway. Then Japan, been occupied for nearly ever, South Korea. They even occupy part of China, as Taiwan is part of China and the US agrees with that and it is stated on their embassy website. I could full the page and more with more examples.

    One of the big issues is Western (and more recently eastern) countries want extraction deals where they get 95+% of the profit. If the government says no, they could expect blacklisting from any banking deals, sanctions, and ultimately a coup. The next leader would be hand picked by the west. The saudis play ball, Iran doesn't. Both have rights issues, but we only have issues with one.

    Long before these guys there was Colonel 'Mad' Mike Hoare. He( or a representative) would come to attempt to recruit mercenaries for the Congo and other areas on demob days at the end of our military service in the sixties. Mercenaries could earn $20000 dollars a month then, equivalent to about 200000 in todays buying power. One of the earliest and most successful soldiers of fortune. I sometimes wonder whether joining him for a year would have been life-altering.

    "Owned by Pigs" Reminiscent of the book 'Animal Farm' modeling the joys of egalitarian communism. Where all animals are equal, but after the revolution overthrew the oppressor, the sheep discover some animals are more equal than others. Rather reminiscent of the Marxist terrorists of the ANC, with Winnie Mansella and other ANC freedom fighters "necklacing" blacks that wouldn't fall in line after the ANC was in control delivering Marxist utopia to the now freed sheep. "Never saw violent Marxist terrorists ever do that before!", said nobody ever.

If the world around you is falling apart and your own government cannot protect you and is in danger of being overrun as well and makes a call to a company thousands of kilometers away and that has nothing to do with either you or your country or your troubles and your own government and its army and police that are there to protect you cannot help you then what options do you have ? Are you going to point a finger and judge the people that hear your cry for help and say they are willing to travel thousand of kilometers with all their equipment and manpower to come and do a job you and your government cannot do but for a price? A price which your government is willing to pay for the acquisition of these man and there entire operation and everything that goes with it and comes along with it including them having to give up their lives if need be or stand the chance of loosing their lives . Those governments paid in the only currency they had available , a currency which very likely would have been taken by the same people that threatened your livelihood and well-being as well as that of your country . More often than not this company had to finance their entire setup and move from country A to B with the only deposit or upfront payment so to say being in the form of an agreement or deal in the form of a mining concession on good faith once the shit had been sorted out and removed so that peace and some form of normality could prevail and people could go back to their homes and try to rebuild their lives. EO was a business and they ran it very efficiently and professionally. Trust me, when things go south and your world turns upside down and your life becomes a living shit show and a fight for survival , these are the type of people you want around you and working for you . Way more efficient than the UN ,way more effective and at a fraction of the cost by a mile. Also as far as morals go , they only worked for governments that were legally elected , no dictators or self imposed rulers or those put in place to rule as puppets for foreign masters and their interests just like the US does as well as a few other countries in the EU I could mention.

    @@archiemercer5499 not entirely true. If the world around you is falling apart and your own government cannot protect you and is in danger of being overrun as well and makes a call to a company thousands of kilometers away and that has nothing to do with either you or your country or your troubles and your own government and its army and police that are there to protect you cannot help you then what options do you have ? Are you going to point a finger and judge the people that hear your cry for help and say they are willing to travel thousand of kilometers with all their equipment and manpower to come and do a job you and your government cannot do but for a price? A price which your government is willing to pay for the acquisition of these man and there entire operation and everything that goes with it and comes along with it including them having to give up their lives if need be or stand the chance of loosing their lives . Those governments paid in the only currency they had available , a currency which very likely would have been taken by the same people that threatened your livelihood and well-being as well as that of your country . More often than not this company had to finance their entire setup and move from country A to B with the only deposit or upfront payment so to say being in the form of an agreement or deal in the form of a mining concession on good faith once the shit had been sorted out and removed so that peace and some form of normality could prevail and people could go back to their homes and try to rebuild their lives. EO was a business and they ran it very efficiently and professionally. Trust me, when things go south and your world turns upside down and your life becomes a living shit show and a fight for survival , these are the type of people you want around you and working for you . Way more efficient than the UN ,way more effective and at a fraction of the cost by a mile. Also as far as morals go , they only worked for governments that were legally elected , no dictators or self imposed rulers or those put in place to rule as puppets for foreign masters and their interests just like the US does as well as a few other countries in the EU I could mention.

I think your "loyal" sentiments are misplaced. UNITA also had the benefit of claiming many actions that were actually SADF actions as their own successes. UNITA was also supported by elements of MI in the Nineties so they could keep earning blood diamond money on the sly.

They were also by no means a fan of him. He might have been portrayed as this larger than life charismatic man , but the truth was that he was a power hungry ego maniac and a ruthless murdering son of bitch. Had it not been for the role of convenience or necessity he played , there were several occasions where certain high ranking military people had to be held back or even restrained from putting a bullet between his eyes because of his behavior towards his own people and on the battlefield.

    The African since the departure of the Colonialists in Africa especially, have never come to terms of how to govern a country. Firstly they've never bothered to imbibe "A Moral Authority" so shared to them by the Whites and Westerners. Not speaking of being bullied or of insults. But inbibing ethnics, virtues, values and the respect for life and the reverence for life it's self, which is unfortunately totally lacking the African mindset..."Therefore the power of the State is to be found, as for Individual, is also to be found in Spirituality and Ethical Conduct...In which the State only lives by the way the very confidence of those who belong to it. And inturn lives by the confidence felt on it by other States...Opportunistic policies may have a temporary success to record. But for your and my children and grandchildren it is rest assured to end in failure". Dr Albert Schweitzer.
