I guess we need a foreign legion, like France, Spain and other countries have. I wrote an article about that about 10 years ago but the magazine has disappeared and I can’t find it.
A ‘foreign legion’, as the other lesser nations have, is built of conscripts, convicts, and others who feel that ‘the soldier of fortune’, or more bluntly, mercenaries, was their ticket to a better life.
When the publication, “Soldier of Fortune” came onto the scene, one of the first covers shown was one of Nelson Mandela’s troops, with his head blown open.
At that time, I was considering leaving the country, and joining the Rhodesian Security Force. One thing stopped me. We had laws in place, at that time, that any American enjoining a mercenary outfit to engage in combat in a foreign land, was punishable by a full-blown prison sentence of not less than 20 years. Oh well.
That was more than 25 years ago.
I still thinkk all these ILLEGAL INVADERS NEED TO BE SHOWN COLD STEEL, AND NOTHING LESS.
