Can we actually get with reality and truth ? Yes they are part of a very professional army and yes they serve our country well.
They are also foreign nationals who are fighting for money. I think you will find that is the very definition of the term 'mercenary' They don't join the Gurkha regiment to fight for their country. They join it because it offers them a standard of living that the rest of their countrymen can only dream of.
so the irish the scots and the welsh including our own english soldiers are all mercenarys oh ok i get it now.
i think you will find you are trying to prove a point that just does not work.
