ikarma70 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 A mercenary is an ex soldier hired to fight and kill in somebody else's war, a PMC is a private security company hired by a foreign government who hires ex soldiers to protect equipment or VIP's as like the companies who do such work in Iraq at the moment. My mate who is like a brother to me is an ex soldier who is employed by a PMC out in Iraq to protect important material assets and VIP's, he does not fight and kill unless fired upon first hence not a mercenary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Finius Posted July 1, 2011 Supporters Share Posted July 1, 2011 Without wanting to cause offense (I'm sure your mate is a totally upstanding fella), but after everything with Blackwater, I don't distinguish between the two any more.
