    This is an excellent discussion and a pragmatic and compassionate way of incorporating these international volunteers. There is no mileage in quibbling over what is, or is not the definition if a mercenary. If you are fighting for what you believe is right, surely this is the impiotant point, whether you draw a salary for your job or not?

      I would have to disagree with your last sentence, what you believe is right maybe not right for someone else ie; Dickhead Putin believes he's right. Yes you would think that this is an important point, but rules are rules, discipline is key in situations of mayhem. Discipline; structure; order. Can't have everyone running around the battle field shooting at anything that moves can you. Just my two cents.

      Do you mean that the volunteers are mercenaries? No, they are volunteers. Maybe you don't understand what a mercenary is? For example, Ukraine could never pay Swedes more than what they earn in Sweden. Yet at least 400 Swedes have gone to volunteer in Ukraine so far. So why would a Swede go to Ukraine as a mercenary in a war, when they can earn much more money doing a nice office job in Sweden? Same for the other volunteers from various rich countries.
