Who knows what to believe but one source claims this CIA officer killed in Somalia was actually killed during the raid on a CIA base in Germany while trying to confiscate the hacking servers.

Certainly makes for a good story.
It's a numbers game. Out of every thousand soldiers you'll get a small percentage that are amoral psychopaths another small percentage that are just greedy or a few that get screwed over by the military. Pretty soon you've got a reasonably competent merc unit that will shoot at who they point them at.
That is true.
