    I thought it was pretty standard procedure for ex special forces to do security work. Fair play to them for starting up their own business though.

    2 page spread about the company.They interviewed the main man behind it,and then gave a description of the courses,as well as briefly stating the experience of the personnel.i.e w/ ARW in East Timor,Lebanon,Liberia,and also mentioning his year and a half with private security firm in Iraq.

    I'd imagine there would be a fair amount of work what with dissident republicans reemerging as a threat.

    Well if you owed as much money as some builders / developers do, there might be people that would be angry with you.
