    Read this article today...

    "Being a mercenery may be about to become a legitimate job following Jack Straws recent proposals"

    It tells the story of how a mercenery helped bring about the collapse of a communist republic north of Brazil (Suriname) in 1986 for £500 per week!!

    Aparrently to control this industry the government are looking to control it by allowing private military companies!!

    Mercenaries are drones that dont really believe in anything.

    The prolonged barrage engulfed Zero-One in the glow of a thousand suns. But unlike their former masters with their delicate flesh, the machines had little to fear of the bombs' radiation and heat. Thus did Zero-One's troops advance outwards in every direction. And one after another, mankind surrendered its territories. So the leaders of men conceived of their most desperate strategy yet. A final solution: the destruction of the sky.

    being a mercenary is barely more meaningful or moral than fighting as a result of some kind of patriotism as most soldiers do
