Ex-Soldier 'Rambo' Gets 20 Years for Mercenary Murder Scheme
by TRACY CONNOR

NEW YORK: -- A former Army sergeant who became a soldier of fortune nicknamed Rambo was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in federal prison for a conspiracy to kill a DEA agent and an informant.

Joseph Hunter, 51, pleaded guilty after being caught in a sting operation mounted with the help of his former boss, an international criminal kingpin who turned government snitch after being nabbed by the feds in 2012.

Hunter recruited four other ex-soldiers from around the world to carry out the dirty work of what he thought was a Colombian-based cocaine-smuggling operation, prosecutors said. Their chilling plans were caught on tape.
