They are mercs, yes, but they can make their own decisions. If they violate my or others' constitutional rights or attempt to intervene in an area where friendlies are in control then they will be considered hostile. If they keep a respectful distance and mind their own business according to the CONUS, I have no reason to consider them enemies. I'll be more wary of them, as they are mercs after all, but there's no reason to fire without provocation.rah45https://www.blogger.com/profile/16182388094109618651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-73327828065127097552010-08-22T20:06:25.221-05:002010-08-22T20:06:25.221-05:00PMC's have a place in the world, but that plac...PMC's have a place in the world, but that place is never on American soil, except for perhaps guarding a facility from genuine bad guys.

I wasn't that impressed. Sure, they're good on their own ground, and walk away with trophies in matches, but I saw things like leaving legs and feet hanging out from behind hard cover. Considering that you fight as you train, in the real world, they are NOT invincible.
