The mainstream media has been reporting that 3 Americans were recently arrested for being on a "self-appointed counter-terrorism mission". I dug into this story and discovered quite a lot.

1. I took a while
to read the story and the links within the story. This is big stuff. We have always had mercenaries, which is really sad. Maybe this coming to light will put a stop to this absurdity. From what I have heard, mercenaries know that, if caught, the government will not help them. It does take a very violent, domineering and viscous person to qualify for the job and the training some of them get, postured with violent disposition, makes them the perfect "employee."

Of course, the real question, is "will this ever come to light."
