Don't forget every single one of those contractors have worn a uniform. The pride thing goes away after you've had your fill a few times. Then it turns into a necessity. Ever seen thank you for smoking? You have to pay the mortgage.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

So, I just watched Shadow Company on AOL, you can watch it in it's entirety for free.

I thought it was pretty good. Lots of info on the birth of modern mercenaries. Lots of info on what they're actually paid to do. Some good footage of contractors doing their thing in the field. Intermittently throughout the film they would have a british contractor explaining how life really is while working. I think a total of 4 contractors were interviewed, along with a couple military historians and even an "Adventurer"...

My only complaints, too short (45 minutes), and not enough talking with active contractors.
