First impressions. What do you think this firm is all about?

[alittlelark]

1. Almost every job offer is for ex-military

I tend to look at the 'career' section of such sites - they can be telling.

5. C.I.A.

4. Mercenaries?

"Hands on" police and security sounds scary.

I wonder if snazzy uniforms and jack boots cost extra....

[SteppingRazor]

12. Definitely some mercenaries, but not all...

Just click on the "Job Opportunities" link. Of the many jobs offered, one of them is Bn/Bde Staff Assistance in Afghanistan.

That means staff support for infantry batallions and brigades -- mercenaries, in other words. But there's also plenty of legitimate support positions for the army.

Whenever there's a war, there'll be companies that will make money off it.

6. Competition for Blackwater

8. First Impression?

Ugly blend of images - poor qaulity web design. Then I started looking at the images closely... and then the logo and figured it's a merc site.

Found their job listings and that pretty much summed it up.
