They are heavily regretting their decision to stop eating avocados a year ago because now they've paid off their student debt and don't think they'll be welcome in the International League.

Well he's not pointing a gun to his head, so that's a plus

I would guess the ideathey were thinking is that if you are feeling trapped and depressed because of your debt, they offer a solution. It might just be more a permanent solution than you expected.

Sidenote, maybe it is different these days/at other schools, but when I was in uni posting over other adverts like this was a big no-no that would get your organization in trouble unless everything you covered was explicitly expired. Granted, we didn't allow military recruiting at all, especially for foreign governments.

Woof, one of the only draws of being a mercenary is that the pay is supposed to be several times that of a national uniformed soldier, with no additional 4 year contract as there is in the military.

You just KNOW that Ukraine will pay these "volunteers" 12 bucks an hour, and will NOT let them go home if they reconsider.

Remember kids, when you are punishing the capitalist for their crimes, there is nothing you can do to them that would ever be unjust when compared to the evils they have committed against humanity.

I mean this is pretty straightforward, they’ve been selling the US Military as an easy out for people with few options or skills for decades, there’s no war that we are actively participating in, so it makes sense that they’d just choose some other active armed conflict that the US has vested interests in. Sad but not surprising

Some Syrian losers went and they found out they got paid in fake dollars lol. Obviously didn't show their faces on video because Assad wouldn't let them get away with it.

It's hard to tell what's true and what's propaganda coming from a warzone
