I was a contractor for Blackwater ......

What was it really like working for Blackwater during the height of the Global War on Terror?

In this clip from Four Years a Slave, I sit down with former Army officer and military contractor Morgan Lerette to discuss his experiences working for Blackwater in Iraq. Moving from military service into the private security world, Morgan provides a firsthand look at the realities of contracting during one of the most dangerous periods of the war.

We discuss the transition from soldier to contractor, the missions, the operational environment, and the unique challenges that came with providing security in a combat zone. Morgan also shares insights into the culture of private military contracting and how Blackwater became one of the most talked-about organizations of the post-9/11 era.

Whether you're interested in military history, private security, or the realities of modern conflict, this conversation offers a rare perspective from someone who lived it.
