    Default Re: What makes a mercenary?

    Helennes, when you are in a hole you are meant to stop digging. Simply put, if a person joins the military organisation run by a State, then he is not a mercenary. If he joins a private enterprise to fight, he is a mercenary.

    Soldier = One who fights for the State

    Mercenary = One who fights for business enterprise

    Simple really.

    Oh yeah, not everybody who is conscripted hates serving. Many would have joined up of their own accord.
