<:beanie:463084349642899468>
yes
Maybe I did?
Silly question, any German folks present?
yes
but not me
i believe Falko was German?
tl;dr there was a government thing in 2011 that said, in as many words, that we can't forbid PMCs to form in Germany.
Thing is: we used to have a ban on PMCs in Germany.
I don't know if this could lead to something in the future, but it's not unthinkable.
PMC is?
Paramilitary Company?
Private Military Contractor
Aka "Mercenaries"
ah
almost the same 😛
No @LunaticHell Mercenaries are illegal.
We couldn't have those.
You from Germany?
Sorry they're "illegal"
Well
In 2011 there was a debate in the Bundestag about that.
Called " Regulierung Privater Militär- und Sicherheitsfirmen"
Regularated Private Militia and Security Firms?
In essence, yes.
Well regulated militia.
Well, militia actually means something different
the more proper translation would be "Regulation of Private Military- and Securityfirms"
Private military as in "PMC", for example Blackwater.
Which is a Militia
A militia is a group of armed citizen that protect their country, is it not?
country/their faction
It's a civilian force to supplement the regular army.
basically, an army comprised of civilians, to protect their turf
"Supplement the regular army", we call those "mercenaries"
Mercenaries are soldiers for hire
