Plus mercs are probably the worst type of soldier, because they don't fight for a cause, they fight for money... thus lack proper morals (which I suppose could be a good soldier in someone's eyes?). Just what I imagine, I might be wrong... just the stereotype I have in my mind is all

You are, totally wrong. Most are ex military, professionals, i know one guy who left to Baghdad this year. They are no crazy killers and most probably have better morals than majority of people. And its better to refer to them as security contractors to their face, that merc title will get them really mad. |
Yeah, I know... I was just ranting on about stereotypes perpetuated by media and mainstream culture. Probably why mercs don't like being called mercs.
