Private Security Firms in Iraq

[Arc Lite]

My cousin just retired from the army. He's still a pretty young fella (about 39) and just signed up with a private security company and went back to Iraq working for them. Supposed to be real good money, especially compared to Army pay. But we are all still concerned about his safety though.

The firm is Security by Sabre. Just wondering if anyone has heard about them. Are they a Blackwater-type company? That's kind of what it seems to me. Cousin is kind of tight-lipped about it and I was hoping someone here had worked for them or know more about it than we do.

Thanks -

Youre not going to find much of anyone inside a PMC that will talk about it. You would be better off looking for military guys that dealt with them.
