[GZG] Re: Recruiting Mercs

After any civil conflict you will have people who suddenly find that they want
to leave in a hurry so ironically you might find yourself recruiting the
people you have just defeated.

If you want a real world example you have a lot of Germans ending up in the
French Foreign Legion in Vietnam – very often with German W II gear as well
– MG42s for sure and stranger things as well, I think possibly even 8.8cm
FlaK guns (though I cannot really imagine why – it is not a conflict I
associate aircraft or armour with on the Vietnamese side but maybe I just do
not know enough about it (which is true in any case)). The British in India
and the Romans are alternative examples. I had best not mention the Scots or
Irish in the British army but I think these are getting off the point as they
were now fighting for the rulers of their countries. I am not trying to get
political, just being a pedant.
