yee like if you done that shit durning 1WW you was treated like heroe then second WW (and 20 years of peace) you was treated like Bandit even if you are comunist, capitalist, fascist, and then cold war those guys just treated like mercenaries today and now we are back to WW era stuff in that matter

"Glory to Ukraine, glory to HEROES"

Anyway

like shit, the lafayette escadrille is still held in high regards. Even though WW1 was wildly unjust and spun rapidly out of control

^^

i would say glory to federation but ok

I think it should be an individual's right to go fight for a brother nation

sounds good

If not on the basis of ideals, than as a business transaction

^^

Main issue there is that it's more privatized now

If you're not a contractor you're an actual mercanary and that's bad

Even though contractors are just legal mercenaries

@jaruspk aren't you polski?

but mercenary traditions go back literally centuries. It should be all supply/demand , free market anyways

I agree

Give me gold n lemme fight lol

Exactly

I mean shit dude

Even during the Spanish revolution Americans went and fought

Although I do think the Hessians got a shit deal from the british. Good thing Good Ole George gave them a better deal to dessert

Or in China as the flying tigers

And with the RAF

Or the Bush Wars

^

Every conflict has had some volunteer force of Americans

In one way or another

Because boy howdy do we like fighting

Then you have shit like Syria

Where if you go there and come home you're a terrorist

(Fuck the Kurds too btw)

Wait I thought they're the good guys in this?

I still don't get how engaging ISIS in open conflict makes you a terrorist, but ok Govt for having a monopoly on violence

Technically yes

@SOG JAMESON but the vast majority of them are essentially commies

Well thats dissapointing

Not all of em

So essentially it's religious right wing authoritarians versus secularist left-wing collectivist

But the faction that actively accepts westerners is

Normally in this situation I would grab a lawn chair and pop me a bag of popcorn if the situation weren't so fucked up

That's like Ukraine
