American mercenaries hired by UAE to kill in Yemen | BBC News 

Kinda surprised they went public with this, that'll probably be their last Middle East contract throwing UAE in the spotlight like that.

As an ex contractor myself, looking at these guys I can’t help but chuckle. These supposed USSF guys are people the rest of us stayed well away from. They only get the jobs professionals wouldn’t touch and they just love telling anyone who’ll listen just how good they are. They’re a cluster and a liability. You’ll never see another group from any other country with their heads on the telly except them.

"we do our own research and do our due diligence" literally 5 minutes later "we have our orders.. who am I to question?"

$1.5 million per month? DONT ASK ME TWICE!

As a citizen of Yemen, I reside in the country and have traveled extensively from east to west. I strongly detest and fear Al-Qaeda more than any other entity on this planet. However, I have never personally encountered or been aware of any presence of Al-Qaeda on the ground in Yemen. My only knowledge of them has been through media reports. When I heard a mercenary claim in a documentary that "Al-Qaeda is in every corner in Yemen," I laughed loudly, as it seemed to me to be an exaggerated attempt by a liar or mercenary to portray themselves as a hero under the spotlight of media attention.

What's the difference between a Mercenary, terrorist and dangerous killer?!

I had a very dear friend from the military join BlackWater in 2003. He didn’t carry out assignations but he did provide security for the Iraqi Government. He told me some wild stories but sadly he took his own life 2 years ago.

Real operators would never show their faces or talk about sensitive or classified information on TV.

This guy is all over the place one minute he says they do their own investigation Into targets then says who am I to argue with UAE over targets 😮

Mercenary: we do our own due diligence so we don't go after innocent people Report: why did you try to assassinate this person? Mercenary: If my client said he is a terrorist then who am I to question it. That tells you enough about this psychopath.

Murders claiming they are fighting terrorism when they are the terrorists

he says he likes hunting bad guys, well maybe he never looks in the mirror

I love how baldy goes from 5:00 "We do our own due dilligence" to 7:10 "Yeah UEA are our clients and that guy was a terrorist" doesn't sound like due dilligence to me if you just accept what your CO tells you.

The first thing they talk about is commiting a terroist attack

Whether you agree or disagree with these peoples methods, you cannot deny that the world sometimes requires people to do the dirty work to keep the peace. Unfortunately sometimes even these people end up becoming tools for evil.

BBC I'm a British citizen, please apply this level of scrutiny to the members of our government and their complicity in overseas murder. Thanks.

The first guy sounds like a psycho. He attempts to portray his targets as evil, but he really doesn't care who he kills as long as he gets paid. So, who is the true evil?

These guys come off as unhinged, money hungry, self obsessed, sadistic murderers.

I love how he lead by saying they carry out their own due diligence, and then immediately fell back on "who am I to question the client?" when challenged.

'IM NOT ON STEROIDS'

Who is bad than you? Killing for money

It's a addiction.. as 19 Year olds they were taught to kill.. NOW it's all they know.. IF they go home, they end up in the streets and on heavy drugs.. some cases in prison for violence against love ones.. it's sad either way.

Take note that this bald guy said it knowing houthi’s killed 0 while the US killed civilians shamless

Man, these guys sold their souls to the Devil himself in Person.

These guys are evil

This has opened my eyes wide... 😮😮😮😮

Oh my god how much pain this lady had in her heart 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 for losing her son

They don't realise they are the evil ones!

These individuals are contract killers. Why are they still roaming the streets and not put into prison including. those who hired them.

Can't stop thinking of how she's lucky this was an interview. These people have no idea. God help women if it all goes to hell.

"We do our due diligence to ensure this is a legitimate target." Also him: "Who am I to question the intelligence [of the UAE]?"

Insane world we live in! Thank you for your journalism!

No way, man! A serial killer for hire would call people in a different country "evil", and call himself as evil fighter..

RIP to that lady’s son that is sad

that started in 2012 it's cool you're actually talking about it now

Well...there you go...

His belief of who is a good guy or a bad guy is simplictic !

Tell that fool labelling Yemenis as bad people that he has no right to say that He's killing people and should be charged of Murder for killing people on their home soil

A lot of circumstantial evidence presented in this report, and an interesting attempt to sympathise with groups of questionable motive.

they may be bad but theyre the kind of bad you would want on your arsenal as a country. you cant fight wars with good men alone, you need the dangerous ones.

“That’s what soldiers do”….. mate, you are NOT a soldier. You’re a mercenary. Not equivalent.

Criminality to a whole new level!! No justification!

Maybe you can do a report about how terrorist organizations and those who murder people are reimbursed by Iran. There are 2 sides to every story. Im sure there is more going on with the targets they take out then you realize

Sold their soul to the devil for money.

You keep on saying that the US has not designated the Muslim brotherhood as a terrorist group. Is the United States of America the only country that has the permission to declare a group of terrorist or not? I’m not arguing either way it’s just a question that needs to be answered in regards to the context of this video.

Right you do this kind of work,but here you are making a video,im completely lost on that

This reporting is so half-assed and obviously biased from the beginning

The guy said their mission was a success but apparently the target is alive and just interviewed in the documentary. lol

If you’re killing someone outside of the military, isn’t that just murder?

So a killer but whiter and shinier ? Thats not racism right?

the "bad people" part is just the excuse used by a regular serial killer who enjoys taking the life of people, that is all

Like America has the authority to decide what groups are and are not terrorists for the entire world.

How does he have a right to say that this is a legitimate target, Hes a murderer and shud be prosecuted for Murder

Most oxymoron combination of words ever: military intelligence

The fact that Dale "Con$tock" is the opening face of this take most of the BBC credibility off. Guy is a total ego on steroids. Take what he says, divide it in half, and imagine a teenage girl telling the story. Probably closer to the truth.

The question is who the hell are you to decide who is evil and who is not.

You couldn't make this shit up.

Real mercenaries wouldn't be speaking in public

Seems wonderful mother that support her son

Idle people thinking they're in a hollywood movie with tatoos, guns and big useless muscles.

One thing I will never understand is why the UAE have something against Yemen?

guy couldn't figure out what the "Right Thing" is in 1000 years

Why you not say about terrorists victims.

Classic Uncle sam. Doing what they know best. Spreading chaos outside their territories

They are evil in themselves.

You guys ought to do one about the wmds and why nothing hasn't been done

Civilians doing combat training has nothing to do with defense. So, you have to ask yourself why they'd need to learn that.

These guys are psychopathic and extremely homicidal. It’s truly terrifying.

The guy who talks slowly is really scary. I can feel he is a real killer.

Compelling reporting!

One of their leaders gun down in Mogadishu last night.

Terrible crimes and a lowly business, appreciate the bold reporting.

No BS ,you never speak about the client or the target let alone do an interview about it

problem is: the intelligence is often false and innocent people die.

Music is too loud

Meanwhile they called wagna evil while celebrating others as good guys hunting bad guys

The influence of the UAE extends across the region, stretching from Yemen to Libya. The primary concern is not simply the UAE's status as a key ally to the US and UK, but rather the perpetration of illegal activities with tacit approval from the US. It is apparent that the US often invokes the banner of human rights for strategic political reasons rather than a genuine concern for human rights.

This man is artificially coloring his mustache lol. I’ve seen all I need.

1.5 million per month where do i sign up

There needs to be an international body that monitors these groups. You cannot be free from law or international ruling within borders that you are not even from.

How come America is letting their citizen carrying out killing business. It is just like mafia syndicates, they also extend these favours to thier opponent. America is helping their partner to conduct petty crimes sending their human machines and their weapons as a favour and it retrun UAE will give more business to prove trustworthiness

Wow, a picture of yourself smiling for your assassin to identify you as a target.

I’m not a murderer. I’m a mercenary!

The reality of this world is so disgusting and unbelievable.

I have a feeling that these guys will never be safe...

I recommend people watch Dale Comstock's Team House interview

movie name ?

It's always "bad " people. One might say that about these guys .

This is indeed very disturbing. These crime need to be formally investigated & culprits brought to justice.

These are the people that cause life to be hell on the earth

4:53 I didn't hear a word that dude was saying. I'm just in awe with the sheer majesty of his moustache.. Seriously. What in the world is that thing?! He looks like an alternate timeline Mike Ehrmantraut..

It's funny how you're talking about America and the Muslim brotherhood like it hasn't been a symbol of controversy in American politics since 2001

Back here in Uganda, I sit by the Nile and wonder who and what has the mandate to classify humans as "bad" and "good" guys? Its a dangerous world out there. Please hug your children and show them the Love when you still can.😢

would you the US allow Mercenaries to operate inside the US? how are they allowing US citizen to conduct the same in other countries? I know these guys take risk to their lives when they go to other nations.. but the law should stop such activities...so the US now it harbouring Terrorist. that have conducted a crime in another nation...

Location and source is unknown.. It can happen to any region..

guy says he does his own due diligence then turns around and says who am i to question orders, im just a soldier. well wich is it?

If you were hired by someone and pointed toward a certain group of people, it means you have an assignment that blinds you to any fair judgement.

BTW this big tough Navy SEAL Isaac Gilmore was kicked out of the SEALs for loading live ammo into an m60 on a dry fire exercise and proceeded to shoot one of his teammates in the leg causing him to get kicked out of the teams, and during his time in Yemen he was said to have been routinely sun bathing and ordering people to get him drinks, he also failed to properly operate his ak47 during an op which left him cowering in a vehicle during a gunfight. Dale Comstock- even though he puts on a 80s tough guy persona is totally legit, serving 10 years on Delta Force and later for the CIA as a paramilitary operative- he even developed the special forces combatives manual.

That dude looks like Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin put together....😂😂

It's confusing as hell. Is this about fighting terrorism or killing innocent people?
