movie: Dogs of War

[Askari19]

Actually, I appreciate the casting (Walken) since I've met a few guys who've actually done this work, and they are more eccentric and dissimilar than you might think; not much like the celluloid 'mercenary' stereotype at all.

I knew one whose real life experience was very similar to the Walken character's in DoW, except the betrayal was sniffed out when en route to Africa on shipboard, and the force commander turned the ship around and made landfall off Brazil - where the bunch of them were rounded up and thrown in a Brazilian prison, although their only goal at that point was an air ticket home. So much for the "sacre mercenaire"....
