Governments around the world are trying to maintain the false idea that conflicts fought by corporations are subject to the Law of War. They are not. Mercenary conflicts are lawless.

What compounds these crimes is when these mercenaries wear the uniform of an honorable military service in the employ of a lawful government because then, these commercial and/or municipal mercenaries are impersonating military officers and enlisted soldiers on top of it. The mercenaries in this image are pretending to be soldiers. It is a false assumption to think otherwise. They are impersonating US military soldiers.
