Wow $14,000 a week, sounds like a money landslide!!

But when you consider what your life insurance premiums would be, say like $14,001 a week then it does'nt sound so good!!! :rolleyes:

You want to be a mercenary huh? Meaning you are willing to do anything anywhere for money. Hmmm. No offense there Astrothick but isn't that the job description of a whore? So if I offered you $40,000 to travel to some African country, help violent rebels overthrow an elected government, then slaughter as many men, women and children as possible you'd be excited and take it?! Mercenaries were very involved with the atrocities in Sierra Leone, Somalia, Rwanda and Uganda to name a few places where the people refer to the trade as Hired Killers. If you aren't an overweight 15 year old with Coke bottle glasses and a nice suburban bedroom I'll be worried. Very worried. Have you heard of the word conscience??

This has to be a load of cobblers IMO.

Read too much Andy McNab I reckon. If he is serious my advice, get a plane ticket to any of a number of African countries and ask around, oh and make your will, I will give you about 30 mins to live.

Mercenaries = scum, mostly ex special forces guys who just like the job too much.

It's quite easy really. Go to Zimbabwe, join the forces that are anti Mugabe and be prepared to fight against the Mugabe group. Or, go to Burma and join the group that is against the existing government. You may or may not get paid, but you could pay with your life.

In your very first post you are going to suggest bludgeoning one of my friends and a highly respected poster here? I smell a troll, and one that won't last long here.

You owe Abbey an apology for being such an ass.

Before you all start kicking off because someone could consider being a mercanary remember all the mercs that killed people in africa etc what about rescue missions searching and destroying arms shipments

have any of you ever served a term in the armed forces I have and when someones pointing a kalashnakoff at you you remember it's you or them don't insult people with things you dont understand and don't insult all mercs on the minority without them we would all probaby be dead anyway

And cause they kill people so does governments we just don't get to hear about it must I remind people of the atrocities the american government did to it's own people on 9/11 check this out and see if you think it was old binny and his group

Good god man put that back immediately and find a priest to re-consecrate the thread.

Tibbz, the mercenary thread is http://www.forumgarden.com/forums/showt ... hp?t=30055 and I'd be delighted to tear you to shreds in there. You're an oppressor of the weak on behalf of the wealthy. Satan has a devil specially trained and waiting for you.

Shouldn't be that hard, with all the wars and mini-wars going on at any time. Read SOF magazine. I come from a long line of warriors. My kin were always involved in some war somewhere. In the '50's a relative went to Cuba, hooked up with Castro's forces.When Castro won we expected to hear from him or see him. nothing. Later we learned Castro purged his army of all Americans and any others he felt he couldn't trust.

In early 1960, CIA officials in the U.S. embassy in Havana were requested by the CIA branch chief, Col. J.C. King, to use their influence on several of the nearly 30 American "soldiers of fortune" who had fought for Castro and were still in Cuba, in efforts to "eliminate Castro."

Several weeks later, William Alexander Morgan, a mercenary from Toledo, Ohio, with assistance from two other Americans, made the first of two unsuccessful attempts to assassinate Castro. Morgan, along with the Americans who acted with him, was eventually arrested. In 1961, Morgan was executed by a firing squad in Cuba.
