Dyncorp corporation is a private company specializing in armed forces, aviation and security. They are regularly hired by the US government for peacekeeping, drug eradication or diplomat protection in a variety of countries including Haiti, Afghanistan, Colombia, Bosnia, ect. Their website would make them out to be heroes however if you look deeper into the corporation it becomes clear that they have gravely abused their authority multiple times. One instance of this abuse occurred when they were hired by the U.S to assist the war on drugs in Colombia. They were hired to eradicate all illicit crops. Instead of discovering what areas were populated they sprayed toxic herbicide everywhere resulting in deaths and illnesses. My guess to why they didn’t chart the populated areas is that they were too lazy to follow protocol. For this reason and many others I do not think millitary should be privatized. It should be run solely by the government which would at least remove some profit motive out of the business of killing. It would simultaneously make it easier to ensure that regulations and protocols are being followed. Here is a link to the suit filed and here is the official Dyncorp Website.

Dyncorp is also accused of being involved in the sex trade.
