- >> YES, I KEPT SWINGING IT UP TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK.
- 00:08:02.007 --> 00:08:07.646
- TRYING TO MAKE IT WORK. BECAUSE I FIGURED I WAS THE
- 00:08:07.713 --> 00:08:08.914
- BECAUSE I FIGURED I WAS THE ONLY ONE SHOOTING FROM THAT
- 00:08:09.014 --> 00:08:10.082
- ONLY ONE SHOOTING FROM THAT SPOT.
- 00:08:10.149 --> 00:08:10.282
- SPOT. SO EVERYONE ELSE HAD GOTTEN
- 00:08:10.349 --> 00:08:11.317
- SO EVERYONE ELSE HAD GOTTEN INJURED OR WERE KILLED, AND IF
- 00:08:11.383 --> 00:08:13.085
- INJURED OR WERE KILLED, AND IF I STOPPED FIGHTING AND GAVE

- TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, BUT YOU TRY TO HELP OTHER SHADOW WARRIORS.
- 00:08:27.666 --> 00:08:28.534
- TO HELP OTHER SHADOW WARRIORS. WHAT IS A SHADOW WARRIOR?
- 00:08:28.734 --> 00:08:31.770
- WHAT IS A SHADOW WARRIOR? >> A SHADOW WARRIOR IS SOMEBODY
- 00:08:31.837 --> 00:08:32.871
- >> A SHADOW WARRIOR IS SOMEBODY WHO IS SERVING IN THE SHADOWS,
- 00:08:32.972 --> 00:08:34.273
- WHO IS SERVING IN THE SHADOWS, OUR PRIVATE SECURITY
- 00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:34.807
- OUR PRIVATE SECURITY CONTRACTORS WHO ARE SENT TO

- SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS COUNTRIES TO PROTECT
- 00:08:42.448 --> 00:08:43.215
- DANGEROUS COUNTRIES TO PROTECT AND SERVE OTHERS, SO THAT IS
- 00:08:43.282 --> 00:08:44.350
- AND SERVE OTHERS, SO THAT IS WHY WE CALL THEM SHADOW
- 00:08:44.416 --> 00:08:45.351
- WHY WE CALL THEM SHADOW WARRIORS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT
- 00:08:45.417 --> 00:08:46.885
- WARRIORS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY KNOWN OR EVEN
- 00:08:46.952 --> 00:08:49.021

- -- >> WELL, THIS IS A LITTLE BIT RISKY FOR ME TO ASK THIS
- 00:09:04.637 --> 00:09:06.538
- BIT RISKY FOR ME TO ASK THIS QUESTION BECAUSE, IS IT FAIR TO
- 00:09:06.605 --> 00:09:07.573
- QUESTION BECAUSE, IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT THERE IS A STIGMA
- 00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:08.841
- SAY THAT THERE IS A STIGMA ASSOCIATED IN SOME RESPECTS
- 00:09:09.008 --> 00:09:09.642
- ASSOCIATED IN SOME RESPECTS WITH SHADOW WARRIORS, IN THE
- 00:09:09.708 --> 00:09:11.910
- WITH SHADOW WARRIORS, IN THE SENSE THAT SOMEBODY SAY THEY ARE
- 00:09:11.977 --> 00:09:14.880
- SENSE THAT SOMEBODY SAY THEY ARE MERCENARIES?
- 00:09:14.947 --> 00:09:15.214
- MERCENARIES? YOU GUYS KNOW DIFFERENTLY,
- 00:09:15.280 --> 00:09:16.815

- >> I CAN'T STAND THAT WORD. >> YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DO THINK OF
- 00:09:20.285 --> 00:09:22.388
- >> YOU KNOW, PEOPLE DO THINK OF IT, BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ANY
- 00:09:22.454 --> 00:09:24.056
- IT, BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER, AND PEOPLE FAIL TO
- 00:09:24.123 --> 00:09:27.292
- BETTER, AND PEOPLE FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT PRIVATE
- 00:09:27.359 --> 00:09:29.228
- UNDERSTAND THAT PRIVATE MILITARY CONTRACTORS HAVE BEEN
- 00:09:29.294 --> 00:09:29.895
- MILITARY CONTRACTORS HAVE BEEN IN EVERY WAR THAT THIS COUNTRY
- 00:09:29.962 --> 00:09:34.900
- IN EVERY WAR THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN.
- 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:35.734
- HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN. IF YOU GO BACK TO THE
- 00:09:35.801 --> 00:09:37.469
- IF YOU GO BACK TO THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, GEORGE
- 00:09:37.536 --> 00:09:40.406
- REVOLUTIONARY WAR, GEORGE WASHINGTON, GENERAL WASHINGTON
- 00:09:40.472 --> 00:09:41.040

- MILITARY SO WE COULD FIGHT AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF
- 00:09:50.716 --> 00:09:52.484
- IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF THAT.
- 00:09:52.618 --> 00:09:52.818
- THAT. WITH SOME OF THE DIVISIVENESS
- 00:09:52.885 --> 00:09:53.719
- WITH SOME OF THE DIVISIVENESS THAT CAME FROM THE IRAQ WAR AND
- 00:09:53.786 --> 00:09:56.121
- THAT CAME FROM THE IRAQ WAR AND WITH AFGHANISTAN, I THINK IT
- 00:09:57.256 --> 00:09:58.590
- WITH AFGHANISTAN, I THINK IT WAS JUST POLITICAL RHETORIC
- 00:09:58.657 --> 00:09:59.992
- WAS JUST POLITICAL RHETORIC THAT IS GETTING THROWN OUT
- 00:10:00.059 --> 00:10:01.460
- THAT IS GETTING THROWN OUT THERE.
- 00:10:01.527 --> 00:10:04.296
- THERE. THE WAY I LOOK AT THE
- 00:10:04.496 --> 00:10:05.664
- THE WAY I LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE IS MERCENARIES ARE
- 00:10:05.731 --> 00:10:06.565
- DIFFERENCE IS MERCENARIES ARE PEOPLE WHO GO FIGHT FOR MONEY
- 00:10:06.632 --> 00:10:07.566
- PEOPLE WHO GO FIGHT FOR MONEY ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE AND
- 00:10:07.633 --> 00:10:08.400
