What really happened when former British soldiers swapped military service for the dangerous and rapidly expanding world of private security in Iraq?In this episode of The Old Paratrooper Podcast, Chris sits down with Gary Roberts, author of Seven Point Six Two: The True Story of Soldiers for Hire in Iraq.Gary takes us inside the extraordinary world of armed security contractors operating in Iraq—where former soldiers suddenly found themselves protecting people and assets in an environment where ambushes, roadside bombs and attacks were an everyday reality.This isn't Hollywood or a polished war story. It's a first-hand account of the men who went to Iraq after their military careers, the realities of working as armed contractors, the risks they accepted and the experiences that stayed with them long after they came home.We talk about Iraq, private military contracting, firefights, weapons, fear, brotherhood, leadership and what happens when professional soldiers enter a world where the rules are very different.Gary also explains the story behind Seven Point Six Two, why he decided to write it and the men and experiences that inspired the book.Raw. Unfiltered. No politics. Just the story from someone who was actually there.Interested in supporting the podcast ???
