Aug 1, 2016 at 19:57 comment added Seeds Reminds me of this scene... Zorg: I hate warriors, too narrow-minded. I'll tell you what I do like though: a killer, a dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, would've immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun. [Scene shifts to Aknot, who is staring in confusion at the little red button. He shrugs and pushes it] ... Bang!

Check out "The Modern Mercenary" by veteran merc Sean McFate for a riveting analysis of how fighters-for-hire are actually the historic norm and the standing armies of the post-Westphalian order are actually the historic exemption.
