Mercenaries have always had the most dirty jobs and had to put up with
the shit. Just look at the Wagner group exactly the same happened to
them. If the Irish guys signs on with Russia do you think it's going to
be any different.
No.
As stated when providing an explanation for the action of the russian mercenary leader, mercenary life has its perks and drawbacks.
The balance between both is determined by the conflict.
Mercenary life may be more similar to a hunting safari (many conflicts mercenaries have been involved by the west like in Africa, Iraq, libya etc) Conflicts black water mercenary groups were involved.
Perks were largely superior to drawbacks (oppoeruniry ro kill, rape etc largely superior to risk of being killed)
The current war is way different, drawbacks superior to perks.
