Yeah, I was just thinkin' the same thing. Some of the real troops might hesitate at the thought of rounding up their neighbors and the guns. But mercs, they don't care...long as they get paid. OTOH, folks who might be reluctant to give up their guns and might have problems shooting at cops or real military might not even hesitate when confronted by mercs.
One thing’s for sure, Americans are a shortsighted bunch.

I was a Security Policeman in the AF, and we had no problem at all arresting people walking around in public with firearms.
