A couple of months ago I ran into several articles on private mercenary armies around the world, many of which are based in the United States. I printed a couple of them off along with their internet addresses, but I can't find them right now. I'll keep looking and post them if I find them.

In any case, there's plenty to be found out there. Here's some background: Clicky #1 and Clicky #2.

Need to hire an army? Want to join a private army (assuming you have the required military background)? Try Military Professional Resources, Incorporated.

And here Clicky #3 is some more background information that'll really warm your heart.
