Soldiers of fortune. Hired guns. Mercenaries. They've existed throughout the known history of mankind, always there, where the flames of war are high. Little has changed in our days – private military companies are flourishing, and professional soldiers are welcome guests for governments and groups that want to reshape the conflict zone. But what does it mean to be a mercenary – to risk your life for the sake of earthly money? We spoke to a man, once a British SAS officer, that later fought as a hired soldier in the war in Angola – and once was even ordered to overthrow the government. Simon Mann is on SophieCo today.
