A former Titan translator working in Iraq claims to have had an assault rifle strapped to his shoulder while kicking in doors, rounding up suspected insurgents and “shooting and being shot at.”
“In January alone I fired between 300 to 500 bullets in self-defense,” he tells The San Diego Union-Tribune in an excellent series about the working conditions for Titan workers and other contractors in Iraq.
“What I was doing was in direct violation of Titan’s contract with the Army, but everybody knew about it,” he says.
