19. Other. All our soldiers right now are mercenaries.
They are fighting to make a buck for their boss's clients. There is no real national interest in this war. Sure, they are mostly being conned by Dumbya and they're getting chump change, but they are mercenaries nonetheless.


And no, I don't hate them for trying to make a living as mercenaries when there are no other opportunities open to them. I feel sorry for them. I was brainfucked like them once, too. There is a reason the military mostly uses boys age 18~22...
