Comment by AS:The documentary briefly illustrates a tiny portion of the problems that the U.S. army has in Irak with the 120.000 private contract workers. Of course, since security matters are concerned, we can't expect a very thorough investigation. It is no wonder that the film can only give some impressions of a private security company and their day-to-day problems. Even the issue that the costs for private security contractors are intransparent to the tax payer wasn't given that much effort.
