( CNN ) -- The amateur video shows men , shirtless and seeming dangerously drunk , rolling on the ground or staggering near a counter top covered with booze bottles . Another part of the video shows a man babbling incoherently with a syringe nearby . This is not a scene at a college frat house . It is a video of employees of an American security contractor working in Kabul , Afghanistan . `` It reminded me of times I 'd visit my friends going to college that were in fraternities , '' said John Melson , a former employee of Jorge Scientific who was based at that villa in Kabul on assignment to support efforts to train Afghan security personnel . The images in this video are now part of a lawsuit by two former employees of Jorge Scientific who allege that contractors with the firm were careless with their guns , abused local staffers , wrecked cars , destroyed furniture , and often could not perform their duties due to drunkenness . `` This behavior actually was almost every other night , '' said Kenny Smith , another former employee there , who filmed the videos in January and February . Smith and Melson have filed the lawsuit and cite an example of one night in February of 2012 where several employees were allegedly `` heavily intoxicated and grabbing at each other 's weapons and firing them in the air. `` In one of the videos , which were obtained by CNN , a raging bonfire burns in a pit . The lawsuit alleges that drunken revelers threw ammunition on the fire which exploded , causing a serious laceration on the brow of a local employee . The result of the misconduct , it says , was undermanned security , missed work , and damage to relations with Afghan people and officials . `` Jorge employees were often too intoxicated to perform their duties , '' the lawsuit claims . In a statement , Jorge Scientific said the behavior was `` unacceptable '' and added , `` the Company is deeply concerned about any employee misconduct . '' The firm has implemented a no-drinking policy as well as made management changes , a Jorge representative said . None of the people seen in the videos work for Jorge anymore , the firm says . Jorge `` pledges to fully investigate and correct any mistakes to preserve and continue its history of exemplary performance , '' the statement concluded . But Jorge Scientific rejected the suggestion that work was compromised . `` The Company remains confident that the personal misconduct did not impact the Company 's contract performance , '' the statement said . David Scher , Smith and Melson 's attorney , disagrees . `` These people were drunk beyond the point of incoherence , and could not possibly defend themselves if they were attacked , '' he said . The company says the workers seen in the videos would not have been tasked with defending the compound , since they had administrative roles and support roles , rather than top security jobs . But Scher disputes that and says the company is downplaying the roles of the men in the videos . `` That is a gross understatement of what these individuals did , '' said Scher . `` These individuals are the security manager for the facility , and the operations manager for security for the entire country of Afghanistan for the company . '' CNN was unable to reach either of those men , or another man , seen in the video , which was first reported on by ABC News . The military is supposed to oversee such contractors , and the U.S. Army 's Criminal Investigation Division is now looking into the allegations . `` The International Security Assistance Force and U.S . Forces Afghanistan take all allegations of inappropriate behavior by contractors and service members very seriously , '' said an ISAF spokesman . But Danielle Brian , of the nonprofit watchdog group Project on Government Oversight , said she is concerned that the U.S. is relying too much on contractors , who work in miserable conditions , with too little oversight . The kind of misconduct seen in the videos - even if rare - risks undermining the American mission in Afghanistan , she said . `` This is the kind of behavior that is making people in the area - Afghans - have more disregard for the Americans who are there , '' she said .
The videos are part of a lawsuit by two former employees . The company says it has made changes since the videos were made public . `` The Company is deeply concerned about any employee misconduct , '' Jorge Scientific say .
