Can you blame him? Its my experience that the type of folks that do this mercenary thing consider themselves beyond the law, or they consider that there is no law where they are going so its whoever is the strongest. Its all in the connection you have after the fact. If it were my son and I had any sort of pull Id use it.
I think we need to realize that these companies will continue to rise in the light of terror orgs doing the same. If I were Chevron and my guys needed to survey land and some group shot at them Id hire a security detail to protect my men.
I'm not an advocate for this, but I think its a reality.
