Big difference... these guys are taking the next step... soldiers for hire. Loyal to no one except the highest bidder who pays in cash. If I read moe.ron's post correctly, you can't hire yourself out as a mercenary in South Africa - if I recall correctly they had some really bad problems with 'em some years ago with one 'Mad Mike' Hoare, who was hired out to be the muscle for overthrowing the government of the Seychelles. He got caught before the plan could be put into action.
