Give me some good bionic upgrades and I'm your man, but I'm keeping that shit, that is non negotiable.
what about Morality issues? Is it possible you may have to go out and do somthing your not okay with?Jedoro said:You make this sound hypothetical, when it's actually my plan. I'm gonna go into armed security once I hit 21, get enough experience there for a private military company to hire me, and done.
Or, if I knew for sure that there was a Far Cry 2 situation (i.e. people sitting in a bar waiting to get hired) then I'd be out there once I had the money for a gun and plane ticket.
Of course it's possible, but it can also happen in the military. Great thing about the private sector is if you don't sign a contract with a predetermined amount of time, you can just quit your job if you don't like it.Vault101 said:what about Morality issues?

I guess though thease days (I dont know much about world affiars) its not that different from the regular army morality wise
I wouldn't say that Mercs usually work for governments, but yes, looting etc. is bad. Looting and random violence is usually the difference between thugs (see also Zimbabwe, Venezuela, and a recent appearance in Egypt) and professionals. The whole idea of being a Mercenary is to live long enough to get paid a bonus when the job is over. I'd be willing to do it without too much coaxing. However, I wouldn't be interested in working for the 'Security Guard' company like Blackwater.Zyst said:And looting is generally not done in organized Mercenary forces; Usually you are working for a government so it looks pretty bad for that country if you are burning your way across the country side raping and pillaging as you go. Still, fair answer.
No, mercenaries are defined as being distinct from military personnel, and are expressly forbidden by UN conventions.IBlackKiteI said:Congratulations. You've effectively insulted every military serviceman ever.MisterDyslexo said:Mercenaries are perhaps the greatest scum to exist.
Not that I necessarily agree with your post, it's just that every government soldier is essentially a mercenary when you think about it.
