A WII story was: if you shoot at soldier and they return precise, direct fire, they're British; if machine gun fire, they're German; if there is a pause and all hell breaks loose with artillery, bombs, and mortars, they're Americans.
you're not wrong, we still do it
It's an old joke you're referencing. I heard it from my grandfather.
"When the Germans were barraging, the British ducked. When the British were barraging, the Germans ducked. When the Americans were barraging, the Germans and the British ducked."

This was the US military sending a very clear message
Yeah, do not mess with us.
Yep. and that message was "Fuck around and find out".
@@xJamesLaughx Lmao
Neat little preview of what a war between the US and Russia would look like. 👍
Which is why such a war will never happen. Even Russia isn't THAT stupid.... one would hope.
@@fluffylittlebear No, that fight will be proxy. I think some of what we're seeing in Ukraine will show exactly what Russia is not capable of. No air superiority, no real ground or armor superiority, poor logistics. If not for the mostly empty threat of nuclear strike, any fight between the US / NATO and Russia would be over in a matter of days in a conventional sense.
Just proof Russia don't want American smoke.
They don’t
Let them f around and find out.
Russia didn’t want its air force to add more kills to the F-15 or become the first confirmed kill for the F-22
The first confirmed kill for the f-22 was a Chinese spy ballon
Also probably didn't want to use conventional Russian forces in a real fight against the U.S, mercenaries are one thing, we all know they're basically Russian regulars, but the government can deny anything if its PMC's, Russian airforce getting in a dogfight with U.S fighter pilots is completely different and is an act of war, didn't want to take that chance. Not to mention the U.S fighter pilots would have probably killed the Russian jets.
@@TH4L3G1TK1NG When they sent the F22 up they knew what they were doing
@kermitidiothunter5943 I’m aware. The F-22 needs some meat in its diet it needs to shoot down a few enemy fighters
@Kermit Idiothunter I love how everyone just stay low rather than engage F-22 lmfao
Wagner did not know that the Americans were protecting the oil field.
Russia uses Wagner to give them plausible deniability. They can say that it wasn't us. Russia does this all over the world. Wagner runs wild in Africa and, of course, Ukraine.
Conversely, when we attack them, we can claim we didn't attack a Russian military unit. Works both ways.
@@midnightrider1100 they'd probably prefer to not have to waste the bullets on those clowns though.
They usually are used against poorly trained and under equipped forces. It had to be terrifying for them when they realized that they were outgunned for once.
@@jamesshepherd9415 Do not know, but they sure scrambled to call for Russian help to call off the response fast 😂, but by then they had already denied responsibility for the attack twice and there was little left to respond to😂🤣😂
They knew darn well who was there. Wagner tried their luck and after getting no help from Russians to call it off...the Americans finished them off but good.
To roughly quote a comment from another reaction to this video “It’s funny how some of them received a medal just for surviving” that’s a medal of shame if I’ve ever heard of.
Indeed, every time they see it a reminder of failure will set in.
Dylans burns originally i believe
it was a congratulations uncle same gave you an ass whooping orc medal
Socialism and communism is the same everyone gets a trophy.
@@Tom-hv2eu its the same in the sense that there both tradw syndicilism ones national and ones international
Wagner's intelligence was bad. They did not realize American troops were there when they planned the attack, assuming it was just Syrian soldiers and holdovers. By the time the call had gone to the Russian command post, the Wagner attack group was in radio silence and probably could be reached, thus they walked into a buzzsaw. US military doctrine has, since 1990, been one of "own the sky". That means you hold both the aerial advantage in air power as well as surveillance and satellite imagery.
Basically the US military saw the attackers coming but waited until they got within range of their on-ground units before calling the Russians to verify intent. That's why within 30 seconds to 2 minutes, that convoy got smoked; took out the lead and rear vehicles to hold them in place and then it was "fire for effect" on the rest. The actual "fight" was probably over in less than 10 minutes but the sorties continued for hours mainly to make a point. And, I dare say, the US military response was sort of muted because I don't think at any time they felt really endangered and probably more equal parts angry and amused that the Russians would try something.
To be honest, I don't know that Wagner's intelligence was bad. This very well could have been the Russians using Wagner to try and inflict casualties on the American military and cause a PR nightmare back home. Of course, the US military's response made sure to let them know just how bad this idea was.
I'd imagine the biggest reason the Russian SUs were kept out of it was to keep plausible deniability. If A Russian aircraft fires on American aircraft, it could be considered an act of war.
The Russians could not let their planes take off bc technically they told the US the soldiers werent theirs. Also the US was monitoring the Russian air bases to see if their planes were taking off, if they did the US F-22 and F-15s would have jumped them before they knew it.
@@Blueshirts07 They also would've had their asses handed to them by F-22s and F-15s
@@gaberohrbach7542 yup the US probably would have used the same tactic the russians are using in ukraine, the F-15 would have lured the russian fighters in thinking it was alone then the F-22 would get sneak behind them and lock them up
Those drone are “piloted” by pilots outa Nellis AFB, Nevada, they’re literally flying and firing them from the US.
Or australia , depend which is closer
Watch it eventually be piloted by some kid on twitch, "ok fam tonight we are gonna fly a predator drone against some scrubs in europe"
@@ettibbet5493 A lot for these drone pilots are just that. Younger guys who played video games.
It probably was a test by Russia to see what would happen using the mercenaries and because of what happened. That's why Russia was so pissed when m'erica started supplying Ukraine with hymars artillery helicopters jets and tank
I guess they didn't learn thier lesson
I'm pretty sure Russia was more pissed at the fact that they and Ukraine signed a pact agreeing neither would ever join or allow nato into their country. I'm also pretty sure Russia was more upset that Ukraine was sending rockets into Ukrainian held territory that was mainly Russian supporters. 🤔
@Chris Mcbride Ukraine joining NATO was never a serious discussion, especially after Putin humiliated the U.S by invading Abkhazia in 2008 after George Bush didn't shoot down Georgia's request for membership.
Russia's issue with Ukraine and the main reason for the Maidan revolution was trade rights with the EU. Not NATO membership.
Try studying the Ukrainian/Russian issues of the last decade before parroting Russian/Ukrainian talking points.
Ukraine is never going to join NATO, they talk about joining NATO because NATO scares Russians and Russian state TV talks about Ukraine joining NATO for the same reason.
And before you blather on about pre-invasion western arms sales to Ukraine, what weapons were the North Koreans, Vietnamese, Granadans, Libyans, Iraqis, and Taliban using. It's a non issue.
@@chrismcbride4839 Igor out here earning those Rubles.
@@drpainglove3389 taking arms shipments from nato, tanks, missiles, jets...... yeah they didn't join. Ffs
They saw it was lightly defended by like 20 - 30 soldiers and made a really bad decision to try their luck
When in war and you don't know who's out there take a few shots into the air.
If they run they're French
If they fire back with machine guns they're German
If they return fire with accurate shots they're British
If you don't hear return fire, but after a few minuets your entire world is turned upside down by close air support and artillery fire then they're Americans.
~Old WW2 joke from the European front
LMAO I love that Russian mercenary who said "What the f^ck did they think, the Americans were just gonna run away scared?"
They get a medal for just surviving the US military 😂 pathetic
😂😂😂😂
Makes sense when they recently handed out medals to a pilot who accidently crashed into an object while trying to dump fuel on it
is it similar to how the corpses of American soldiers were awarded when they were shamefully destroyed by the Viet Cong?)))

"The Yankees raised their brrrrrrrt flag." Brrrrrrt.....warthogs. Love it.
Yup, delusional. Don't start none, won't be none.
When you realize being good with a rifle or tank is only a tiny fraction of what it takes to be a modern, professional military.
7:07 It’s cool that he can speak Warthog. 😎
I'm surprised Kabir didn't pick up on that.
I know right do you speak brrrrrrrt
Makes sense. After all, his personal tutor was an Apache with a 30mm chain gun!
Wagner was trying to find out what the US would actually do, and did not much care about their troops. The official Russians denied they were their troops, and did not much care either.
Wagner's strategy really backfired and they probably knew from the start that they were sacrificing their troops to find out what the US response would be. They poked a hornets nest while they themselves were out in open terrain pretty much. They were easy pickings.
Wagner: how can we find out what the US would actually do? I've got it. Let's send our troops to fuck around, then we'll find out.
well they were about to try again a few months later and the Russian chain of command told the Wagners not to even think about it. the assault force turned around and left the area with all possible speed.
They are missing because sometimes people just blown into tiny little pieces
Usually mercenaries aren’t at daily risk of death.
This one time they just want up against a far superior enemy and got ripped to pieces.
It’s like a mouse attacking a grizzly bear. The mouse has no chance.
The USA spends a lot of time talking up the power of foreign countries. This causes two perceptions. One is that our enemies gain confidence and become braggers of their technology. They tend to inflate their capabilities and, in turn, believe the USA is exaggerating as well. The second perception is on the USA citizenry. We become more supportive of heavy defense spending so that threats can be put in check immediately.
Exactly, it's rather ingenious.
Russia brings a few tanks and no manpads which is stupid, here in the states we have a saying and it works for the military and civilian workforce, " It's better to have it with you and not need it than to need and not have it with you"
What a great brrrt video. It was brrrt excellent. I have no idea what the brrrt they were thinking. 😂
I know these mercenaries aren't "good guys" but man, my heart still drops imagining what this would have been like
It must have been horrific. Everyone around you dropping like flies, nowhere near enough weaponry to fight back, being pretty much abandoned by the Kremlin.. awful.
Hard to feel sorry for the bastards considering what they're doing in Ukraine. But they are human, no doubt about that.
Do stupid things, get stupid rewards.
@@kabirconsiders you should react to the French Foreign Legion
Far from the good guys. What they are currently doing in Ukraine is criminal. They are using inmates as frontline fodder in their engagements right now.
What’s happening to the Russians in UKraine is an embarrassment. The US would have taken out Russian military personnel in the first week of the war. Lol.

When I was in Iraq as a US soldier from 2007-2009 "contractors" that were armed averaged 500 USD for static and 650 USD for mobile per day. If they guarded a building or perimeter or something 500 USD a day. If they were in a truck for convoys or something 650 USD a day. The average trigger pullers back then did not come from SOF forces most had military or police backgrounds but not all. Those with SOF backgrounds got hired by specialty firms and made more money. Hope that answers your question,
The medal they handed out to the survivors was the ultimate participation award
Yup very woke minded.
Burn 🔥
Agreed
🤣🤣🤣🤣
it was remember you got your ass whooped by uncle sam medal
Wagner is the group trying to take parts of the Ukraine since last year and keep failing. One of their commanders actually got sniped in the open while doing a tactics meeting.
He was brainstorming and had a real eye opener.
2:20 The Wagner Group has recruited criminals from Russian prisons with no prior military training, so they'll accept anybody, even those with illnesses or disabilities. If someone with prior military experience comes along, they'll make him a sergeant or squad leader. The pay isn't all that much, but then again, those who apply are usually in tremendous debt.
4:04 The Russians knew exactly who they were shelling. 😉
12:26 Because the Russians have been spewing lies and propaganda about their military strength for so long, even they became victims of it, believing they could actually take on or intimidate the number 1 prime military power in the world, the U.S. Army/Marines/Airforce. A rather rude and costly awakening for the Russian military. Murica!😆👍Peace "through strength".🕊
The medal is the Russian equivalent of the "Darwin Award".
I don’t know if there’s a video of it, but look up the British SAS soldier who, during Desert Storm, made his way across the desert, alone, across Iraq for THREE weeks. An amazing story.
The thing a lot of people dont realize is the shock wave from artillery and explosives is the shock wave. Obviously, shrapnel will kill you but the blast wave with liquify your internal organs from the pressure wave.
Mercenaries get paid quite a bit more than regular troops. Usually 2-3x.
depends on the client and the merc group. Russian Wagner contract? cheap. Mercenary service in the west is illegal. Black Water type organizations no longer exist in the west. Only protection services to property and person, not anything pro-active or large scale.
It's like a training exercise
Wagner before attack: Americans are rich, soft brats
Wagner attacking: HELP!
Another event that is similar to this would be the Highway Of Death from the 1991 gulf war. There’s documentaries about it, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Especially if you’re someone who can’t handle it as it also shows what airpower is capable of.
Yeah, a lot of Iraqis that almost got out of their tanks/IFVs in time...
I knew a man, personally, he was a mercenary. The things he told me....I asked him why he did it. He said if people knew exactly what was going on, Americans could not conceive it. I thanked him. He had a collection of body parts.
Kabir , your questions about Fires in oil fields might be answered by looking at fire fighting after Desert Storm .
Kabir, in 2000 I worked for Conoco and had a bit to do with building the gas plant (not oil refinery) discussed in this video.
My former wife was a Blackhawk helicopter crew chief/door gunner in Afghanistan prior to my deployment to Iraq. I eventually got to see footage of many of her declassified missions. Let me tell you, she absolutely SMOKED so many of the enemy. One clip, however, included the loss of one of our female pilot friends. I wish more people would remember the sacrifices made by our FIGHTING women as well as the men.
I think many people don't know how many women are engaged in combat operations. I also find it difficult to feel 100% positive but then I am old fashioned. I rightly or wrongly think men are bigger stronger and more aggressive in general. Men have been fighting wars for 8,000 years. I don't know women strong enough to take down a 16 year old boy. GI Jane is a fantasy. But I am sure that the military uses personnel in positions they are confident of achieving success.
Calling a Reaper a "drone" is a misnomer. It's actually an RPA (remotely piloted aircraft). There IS a human at the controls, he's just not in the aircraft. It's not a computer that was programmed to go out and do XYZ. There is automation built in for loss of signal etc, but it's not, under normal conditions autonomous.
Nice evaluation. You asked why... They were likely testing to see how the US would respond.
From this video, it sounds like the Russian military abandoned the Wagner fighters. In contrast, the U.S. military leaves no one behind. While serving I knew this to be true. I knew that if I ever got into any trouble in combat, everybody would bust their ass to come and help or rescue me. Regardless of what service we were in, and the inter-unit, inter-service rivalry, we cared deeply about each other. And the professionalism, proficiency, and efficiency of everything were phenomenal. From what I saw while in the U.S. military, it really is amazing.
The only thing you can conclude from the video is that this never happened, the C130 gunship gives it away, that thing has zero survivability against shoulder launched missiles. All this hack knows about the military is from the movies and video games.
💯! I was a medical service spec in the USAF and the rivalry is real between the forces but when the hammer drops so does the sibling rivelry, there's no hesitation to make sure our brothers were taken care of regardless the branch they served
I've never heard anyone say that Russia was smart. 😆
Your pay depends on your resume, ex Special forces get paid a lot more, specialists get paid a lot too. You could make 500k cash, tax free a year
Not true, my uncle was in the special forces and when he retired in 1985, he only got 40% of what he made before he retired
@@marydavis5234 He was talking about what MERCINARIES make.
@@marydavis5234silly mary
I used to read a magazine when i was a kid. And it was about mercenaries Fighting in the Angolan/Rhodesia civil war ..and my dad saw one and he said "These guys are shit..They don''t care about You ..if you get hit their just going leave you there".
I think you're talking about the old "Soldier of Fortune" magazine.
@@NotFearfulofFacts I grew up on that magazine. A lot of the private security jobs ex military guys I grew up were taking weren't rent a cop work at a mall in the Congo. Funny I haven't seen the magazine since 911. That may be just a coincidence, I don't even know if it's still published, or subscription only.
@@NotFearfulofFacts Yes. That was it.
@@tyreedillard I think they got sued into oblivion because they allowed contract killers to put classified ads in their magazine and someone was actually stupid enough to use one.But fact check me on that.
The thing I love about the way America fights is that all branches fight together instead of one branch going alone.
I love that at @4:12 we get to see Kabir "consider" in real time. 😎🤘🏾🇺🇸🇬🇧
It didn't say specifically but the us military liaison attempted to verify 3 times that it wasn't Russian forces attacking them and the Russians denied it all 3 times.
Love your content man...keep up the good work!!!
I heard that during the Korean War, North Korean troops fired upon the USS Wisconsin and damaged the deck and injured some personel. In return, the Wisconsin used all their artillery on the North Koreans. Not only killing all of them but completely blew up the hill they were on. A nearby ship, the USS Duncan, radioed the Wisconsin and basically told them to calm down.
calling in b-52s was just petty.
Just the opinion of a retired military veteran with a knack for analysis; Based on this attack from 2018 (I began studying it then) AND the utter failure in Ukraine, I truly believe that Russian military leaders are stuck with older tactics and haven't kept up.
I mean, Alexander, Caesar, any number of European conquest kings, etc, all contributed to modern warfare tactics. Some are still in use to this day.
But, the 20th century with airpower changed everything.
BUT, BUT, BUT... the Russians won the Great Patriotic War (what they call WWII) through the blood of the patriots at Stalingrad and hundreds of other battles. NOT through "airpower" or "artillery", but the blood of Russian patriots.
But, in the real world... an army backed by air superiority (and that includes artillery, since it comes from the sky) will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS win.
The Wagner Group thought they could just muscle their way through. Russia adopted the same mindset in the Ukrainian invasion.
The US has been in constant war for over 20 years, ya think if we're advising local troops we're NOT teaching from experience?
When was the last time Russia was in a major conflict?
Jes' sayin'
Mercenaries are expendable, you have to remember no army will risk their people for "paid guns".
US: Are those your guys?
Russia: Nope
US: BRING THE RAIN! 😂😂😂
The ones that was missing, are the people that was blowing up. Not missing, like they ran away
Kabir, you DO know that the US and UK signed an agreement in 1992 with Ukraine to GUARANTEE its territorial integrity don't you?
Ultimate example of "fuck around and find out."
Russia is still deluded that it is just as strong as the Soviet Union if not stronger. But nothing is further from the truth.
PMCs are common within proxy wars. Similiar to when I had left the USMC and joined Blackwater.
A U.S. General said this, "We do not care who you are, where you are from, what you believe, or who you love, if you choose to fight the U.S. military, someone else will raise your sons and daughters."
This happened during my enlistment. I remember the entire military went on alert. Wasn't long ago at all.....
"Speak softly and carry a big stick." - President Teddy Roosevelt
Guy after phone call: yeah, we know it’s the Russians but they say no. Send in the bombers!
I was terrified during every firefight I was ever in but the reality is your best chance of living is to fight and win the battle because 2nd place is death in combat. Fear is a motivator and once you learn to wield it constructively it becomes a tool not a hindrance.
You get paid depending on the contract you sign. But before you’re recruited, the mercenary group does a background check to verify your identity and skills, plus any prior combat experience you have. When I went to Ukraine last year, I went as a medic. Our mission was to train as many Ukrainians on basic first aid. Nothing more, we weren’t allowing to engage the enemy unless fired at first. I was only there for one month. I got paid 10k for it. Every mercenary group pays different, the contracts change depending on needed skills and experience. I had 3 tours to Afghanistan and 2 to Iraq.

One thing I've heard about Wagner in particular is that the CEO (or equivalent) gets control of resources he captures. Apparently, the group reaps profits from mines captured in Africa, and the guys on the ground get bonuses for capturing valuable resources. If that's correct, this crew was looking to reap a pretty big pay day if they could pull this off.
A drone is not a computer. There is a pilot at the controls making life changing decisions.
This one battle points to a lot more than bad tactics. It points out how bad the russian military has fallen in the last 5 years. Look at what they had with tanks and we burned them clean. Bombs don't fuse sand they burn things but to be able to heat metal to that degree mean those tanks are just nothing more than scrap metal in the shape of a tank. Conventional Bombs don't get hot enough to burn sand into glass and i know that. turning sand into glass takes more heat than a bomb can ever generate in a single blast.
Thermite bombs get to around 4,800 Fahrenheit and at 1,800 Fahrenheit melts sand and turns it to glass.
Artillery, himars, Apaches, F-16s, F-22s, C-130s, B-52s...What, no stealth bombers? Damn.
Saving that for the those other folks in Asia lol😅
Yeah one dish short of the grand slam breakfast.😂
He did say f-22 were there circling? Probably waiting if the Russians to send their planes incase?!?
Nope no B-2s. Not enough time because they have to fly from their base in Missouri. In Guam they have the only base outside the US with a few B-1 and B-2 s, just in case North Korea acts up.
@@davidmarquardt9034 I was just joking.
Most mercenaries don't do it for the money. They actually enjoy battle. As weird as it sounds being in a firefight gives you the most insane high imaginable l. Better than any drug on earth.
From the people in the US who've spoke about their experience with it and their friends, it was 100% the money. Very easy to get in the mindset of oh $10k, that's 3-7 days of work. Safe contracts of loading/unloading/escorting trucks paid less than more active contracts, but they were basically what you'd already did in the military while being paid much more.
It's 100% the money
Let get this straight the Russians always want a piece of US for over a hundred years, We still waiting on them to throw the first Punch 😆
For the medals they received? Instead of a Russian fighter shooting at an Apache. It should have been Blood soaked Russian throwing his hands in the air begging the Apache to stop shooting!!!
Strange Times my Friend. Peace, Love!!
remember The Russian military largely despises PMCs especially Wagner. They may ordered them to attack and left them hanging to take them down a peg.
Missing probably means their bodies couldn't be found ie.. obliterated or unidentifiable scraps
Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s the defiance of it.
If The Russians Would Have Launched Their Fighter Jets, The US F-22's Would Have Blown Them Out Of The Sky Without The Russian Pilots Ever Knowing What Hit Them!
What Russia, China And Other Nations Don't Realize Is That The US Is A Battle Tested Nation With A Highly Trained Air Force, Navy And Ground Forces!
They Also Have Battle Refined And Tested Weapons As Well! Thanks For The Video! A Shout Out From One Of Your Brothers In Northern California, USA! ✌️
You are protected by this military. ❤ From Alabama
The official Russian military does not care for the Wagner mercs to the point that the mercs will often get thrown under the bus. This is currently a common story in Ukraine.
I know a few years back, depending upon resume it was 5 to 7 hundred k. I know an ex Delta guy getting a million + yearly doing so crazy shit overseas.
"The drones look so intimidating" ... not only because they have no "window" but also they look like aliens (from the movie)
You can argue Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam
Whenever the enemy met the US on the battlefield they got their assess kicked
We may lose political goals but we never lose militarily
Exactly. Nice to know someone else knows what's up from time to time.
Wagner didn't know it was defended by US forces. When the US called Russian de-confliction phones, the Russian's told the truth. No Russian military personnel were in the area. The people taking the calls can't get in touch with anyone from Wagner with any rapid fashion. The Russian military isn't wired that way. And Wagner operates outside the Russian military so there's even more lag in the comms.
I think it's great that us Yanks forgave them Brits for that 1776 misunderstanding.
The U.S. Military, When it Absolutely Has to be Destroyed Overnight
When the sleeping giant woke up in the world wars, we never went back to sleep. God Bless America.

a classic case of "F*ck around and find out"
This is when politics don't get involved in the US military and is able to operate freely this is what happens
Shhh keep that a secret let out enemies keep thinking it’s sweet and that if the gloves come off we don’t just beat the fuck out of anybody in our way
Just know those Apaches can stand off at five miles away and lob hellfire missiles without being seen or even heard.
Contractors, at least western contractors will get daily rates ranging from $850 to $1800. This depends on contract and the qualifications/experience of the contractor and are usually advisory roles.
I did a couple of tours as a merc protecting gold shipments in south America and I was making $80k per year back in the late 1980s and early 1990s before I quit. I almost went back to the military for Desert Storm, but my wife talked me out of it. Anyway I did that for a total of 5 years, but in 1992 we got ambushed by some idiots that thought it would be easy to steal the payload. Needless to say., they didn't get anything
Is that you James Vazquez?
What a lying sack of sh*t 😂😂😂
Arrogance is not a good strategy. Know your opponent. Without air superiority battles are not easily won.
I never knew about this battle until w couple weeks ago Habitual Line Crosser (he's freaking hilarious) did a sketch about it. I got busy and forgot to research it then your video popped up in my feed
RF: So, how'd it go?
Wagner: Not great.
US - note to self - paint drone faces with bloody teeth like A10, it scares the enemy away!
Some mercenaries are paid pretty well. Mercenaries have played an important role in the history of European warfare for centuries. Very few noblemen in the feudal times could support more than a handful of knights and men at arms, and the peasants and serfs weren't the best of soldiers. From 800ad, the beginning of the Holy Roman Empire, the Emperor and the Pope, and a handful of others kept standing armies but they still had to supplement their ranks with mercenaries. Even as late as the American Revolution the British hired Hessian mercenaries to fight the colonists. Despite the danger, a lot of people are still drawn to this lifestyle. There's even a magazine, Soldier of Fortune aimed at people who are interested in this subject.
“No pilot; just a computer” what’s scarier is that sometimes it’s not a computer. It’s a sweaty COD boi with a giant monster can instead of a cup of joe, just dressed in BTUs instead of cargo shorts and a cutoff Monster tee.
Private military contractors work on just that... on a contract basis. But even the lowest are paid well above the average soldier. But there are inherent risks associated without having the "legal backing" of a recognized country's military.
