The American Mercenary | Full Measure

 

Earlier this year, two former U.S. military veterans were captured and accused of being part of a failed plot— as paid mercenaries — to overturn the government of Venezuela. It didn’t just fail, it failed miserably. Some professional military contractors called it a clown show. It raised a few questions for us: How does the world of mercenaries work, and where is the line drawn between legitimate military contractors and going Rambo? Lisa Fletcher went to find out. --------- Full Measure is a weekly Sunday news program focusing on investigative, original and accountability reporting.
