Are there any non-cancerous PMC's
>>30191955
What about the White Legion?
>>30191955
EO weren't cancerous by any metric, but that aside there are plenty. You just don't hear about them because they don't piss off the whole of Fallujah and get hung from bridges.

Could mercenaries/PMCs solve the ISIS problem?

>Only people going in would be doing so voluntarily

>>30191955
Nope, they're all cancer.
>>30192452
Hell yea, nigger

Not better but bigger

Wish we had more that were not corporation based.
Like secret society or evil mooks or some kind of enhanced irregular organization of militarized friend groups.
I'm kinda annoyed the only real ones that are 'non-profit' are the muslim ones like Hezbollah, Al Qaeda or ISIS etc, who actually spread a lot and have some tenacious organization. But are unfortunately no fun goatfuckers.
I mean imagine some modern Pro Christian paramilitary or terrorist organization waging a massive guerilla and hybrid war in the entire middle east.
>>30191863
Are there any PMCs out there that aren't Blackwater/Academi/Whatever the fuck?
>>30192528
Not a single one, shithead.

>>30192553
There are like 2 on that list that aren't IT, Construction or Engineering firms.
>>30192605
>Sharp End International,
>Unity Resources Group
>Northbridge Services Group
>Alfa-Tsentr
>RSB Group
>ChOP "Viking"
>Aegis Defence Services
>Control Risks Group
>Triple Canopy
>Dyncorp
Fuck it, there's 10 that offer private security and close protection. I'm not copying all of them for you just because you cant read.
>>30192480
If Executive Outcomes fucked up the RUF despite a numbers disadvantage, then I'm pretty sure any one of the top US PMCs could probably do the same. After all, don't they hire nothing but former BRAVO SIERRA ELITE SPECIAL FORCES RANGER TACTICAL OPERATOR OPERATOR OPERATOR guys? Fairly sure those guys could fuck up ISIS pretty quickly.
>>30192506
It would be entertaining to see the IRA fighting ISIS if they had equal numbers.
>>30192665
Interesting that there aren't actually any in the US
Triple Canopy and Academi are the same company. DynCorp makes planes
>>30192506
How would you be able to generate capital if your investors couldn't expect any profit?
>>30192792
>Implying that's all they do
There are plenty in the US. Dyncorp in particular do close protection security services, anti drug operations (Read: burning poppy fields) and training of locals. Do you expect them to put "protecting airports from sandniggers" in their brochure or something? How can you be so obtuse.
>>30192452
Yes.

>Protecting airports from sandniggers" in their brochure or something?
Yes, everyone else does. Besides that would make 2 total PMCs in the US, you'd really think there would be more in the county with the most active military in the world. What are you so fucking mad about anyway?
>>30192934
I'm not mad, I'm just baffled that you arbitrarily dismiss American PMCs that offer security and CP services because "hurr they do IT".
>>30192480
Are you high? Isis and all middle east militia type forces are semi retarded when it comes to fighting... And have car less tech than your average SOF/PMC group.
>>30192506
All I could think of is this motherfucker.

>>30192828
Don't use investors and instead build a cadre of powerful sympathizers and supporters in an informal setting, like crime networks and irregular cells. And use unconventional assets to acquire capital from donations to battlefield acquisitions.
Like what Isis did.
>>30193343
Sounds pretty based actually.
