New Book Reveals How Ex-Soldiers Are Paid Top Dollar For Jobs Too Dirty And Dangerous For The U.S. Military

New York Daily News: Hired to kill: New book ‘Zero Footprint’ tells of ex-soldiers paid top dollar for jobs too dirty and dangerous for U.S. military

When the Pentagon needs a job done that’s too dangerous or politically perilous for the U.S. military, a clandestine call goes out to men like Simon Chase.

Chase — not his real name — goes on the record in a new book “Zero Footprint” as being a trained killer for hire, one of the elite mercenaries in the service of the $100 billion global industry of military contracting.

“We’re hired to do the dirty and dangerous jobs the military or intelligence services can’t or don’t want to do ... missions too sensitive and top secret for even Delta Force or SEAL Team 6.”

WNU Editor: The growth of private military contractors to fight and/or assist in America's wars is one of the most under-reported stories since 9/11. And while we know about companies like Blackwater who functioned primarily to provide physical or personal security, not much is know about those who were (and are) being employed to do contracts that no one wants to know about.

Dirty, dangerous and. . . illegal. Reagan stopped assassinations and Obama has put them on steroids, by various means.

EO 12333
No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination.

A nation of laws? I don't think so, and as Reagan indicated it ought to be stopped or it will bite back. Already has, probably, creating "terrorists."

This is so secret that only 6.2 billion people, including the Kiwanas Club, the Rotarians, most of the Knights of Columbus chapters, the Oprah Book Club (except of course Oprah), and one person on "The View" know about it. We would include CNN, but they are still trying to discover what news really is.
