Mercs sign up to get paid, and while I'm sure someone will try to make the point that they're doing it to serve their country, there's always the military if their motive isn't profit.

I'm not saying that all of them are bad, or just enjoy profiting off of war (though I'm sure they all enjoy the money), but they're certainly different than someone who signs up to serve their country.

Almost all mercs are retired professional soldiers. If they have a problem with the system or dont think they will advance very far, what else should they do with their skills ?

I agree, I fight for this country not for a corporation that signs a paycheck
