With the beginning of the summer vacation of major colleges and universities, many college students have also begun to look for summer vacation jobs to do part-time jobs. Recently, a Syrian recruitment notice circulating on the Internet, the daily salary is 8,000, and the real person eats chicken easily and is not tired.
In this way, going to Syria as a mercenary as a summer worker is a very beautiful thing, making a lot of money, and there are a lot of stories to brag about when you come back, which seems to be a good job that makes people famous and rich. So is the mercenary's money really easy to get?
According to the report circulating on the Internet, the salary of this summer vacation worker can be described as full of conscience, 8,000 yuan a day, and 240,000 yuan a month. If you play for a full year, it is 2.88 million, and the real million annual salary easily goes to the peak of life. Of course, friends with a little common sense know that this is just a paragraph.
Since 2011, Syria has become more and more lively and poorer. Even if the district government had money, it couldn't afford to spend much on ordinary soldiers. The Syrian government is like this, other armed groups are not too far behind, even if there are financial owners behind it, they will not spend too much on the salaries of personnel, because the normal economic environment has collapsed, unemployed youth abound, and if necessary, they can also grab strong men with guns, anyway, they are cannon fodder.
Whether there are cheaper mercenaries to recruit mercenaries at high prices, or recruit from civilians who know nothing, the salary of mercenaries is linked to many factors such as birth tasks. As a knife-tip licking blood, mercenaries attach great importance to individual ability, and what troops they have served in proves what they are capable of.
According to reports, the daily salary of Blackwater's retired special forces can reach $1,000, and the monthly salary can reach at least $10,000 a day, but this is the wealth of the special forces level. If you have no military experience, only simply shoot, no special forces skills and qualities of people run to become mercenaries. The salary is about $200 a day.
Therefore, ordinary people want to go to the peak of life by being mercenaries, but they are just thinking about it. Of course, there are mercenaries who can really collect gold on the battlefield. But these people are people with super high or rare combat skills, such as the most famous mercenary organization, the American Blackwater Company.
In 1998, several Navy SEALs veterans teamed up to form the security company. As the United States went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan, it quickly rose to become the largest U.S. security company in the footsteps of the U.S. military. Blackwater sprinkled a lot of money to dig corners from the US special forces, and attracted many elite special forces to fight for them.
With strong combat personnel and advanced equipment, Blackwater's combat effectiveness is even stronger than the armies of some small and medium-sized countries. A large number of actions that are inconvenient for the U.S. government to intervene in have been handed over to Blackwater. Once the operation fails, the U.S. government can quickly absolve itself of responsibility without bearing the consequences. At the same time, although these mercenaries are fighting for the U.S. military, they do not belong to the U.S. military. The personnel in the establishment, even if casualties occur, will not be counted among the US casualties, which greatly reduces the picture of the coffins of the fallen US soldiers covered with the Star-Spangled Banner in the TV news, and avoids the public opinion that the army casualties are too large and unfavorable to the government.
Therefore, the U.S. military is very fond of letting mercenaries fight some inconvenient or risky battles for themselves. However, it is precisely because the mercenaries are mostly unscrupulous, so the news about them has also been blocked.
