Ching-Ching…
Use of mercenaries during times of strife is part of the world fabric. It’s a lucrative employment for out-of-work killers. The USA codifies soldiers of fortune into a business venture with the dubious name of Blackwater. Mercenaries such as these are not subject to the military code of law as a matter of fact they’re pretty much immune to any civil or criminal offense. What a business!!!
