The show Redacted Tonight is a comedy talk show that focuses on political and social issues that are often overlooked or misrepresented in mainstream media. In season 1 episode 52, titled "The Most Censored Topic On TV: Uncovering the Army For Hire Industry the Queen Said Something Crazy," comedian and host Lee Camp tackles the controversial topic of private military contractors and their role in modern warfare.

Camp begins by pointing out that the United States military has been using private contractors for decades, but the practice has increased significantly in recent years. He explains that these contractors are not subject to the same rules and regulations as the regular military, and often operate with little to no oversight.

Camp then dives into the specific companies involved in this industry, including Blackwater, DynCorp, and Academi (formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide). He highlights their histories of misconduct and human rights violations, including the infamous Nisour Square massacre in 2007, where Blackwater contractors killed 17 Iraqi civilians.

Camp also discusses the role of government officials in perpetuating this industry, including former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who both had ties to private military contractors.

But the most shocking revelation of the episode comes from a speech given by Queen Elizabeth II in 2015, where she expressed concern about the increasing role of private contractors in modern warfare. Camp humorously questions why the Queen's comments were not more widely covered in the media, and suggests that perhaps there is a conspiracy to keep this topic under wraps.

Overall, "The Most Censored Topic On TV" is an eye-opening and thought-provoking episode of Redacted Tonight, and one that is sure to leave viewers questioning the ethics and legality of the army-for-hire industry.
