Abstract

The rise of private military companies entering the business world as legitimate, profit-orientated commercial entities is a realistic 21st century option. They are involved in quite a few Third World conflicts where the developed world is reluctant to get involved because of what is termed the 'body-bag syndrome'. Politicians sometimes have a difficult time explaining to their electorates why their boys are getting killed in conflicts in countries that most people haven't even heard about. That's when the cry is discreetly made : hire a bunch of experienced mercenaries and let them sort out the problem. And in most cases they do, with little fuss or bother. In some circles it is called 'privatizing war' and, indeed it is a very effective way of halting some insurrections in their tracks, as was the case in Angola and Sierra Leone not very long ago.
