Short Synopsis:
Private military companies have become big business, using cheap, outsourced labor from the poorest countries -- including former child soldiers -- and spending US Department of Defense money to do so. Long Synopsis: Private military companies are significant players in conflicts around the world, supplying not merely the goods but also the services of war. They hire cheap labor from the poorest parts of the world, including former child soldiers, in order to maximize their profits. How is it possible that companies can hire former child soldiers despite the codes of conduct that have been formulated for the private military industry? |
