I resumed my discussion with the new soldier, I asked:-

• Naser:- How are the conditions of the war? do you guys get good equipment?

He laughed, and replied:-

• The new soldier:- let me describe this in the most accurate way I can, are you familiar with the mobile game PUBG?

I smiled, and in a wondering tone, I replied:-

• Naser:- Yes?!

• The new soldier:- we were the real-life version of PUBG, they threw us into the warzone, with only a rifle that will jam after you shoot a few bullets shots, so technically with no weapons or any equipment.

I don't exclude anything anymore, the people who claim they are God's representative will do and say anything to keep their grip over the society, of course you know, governments need such organizations, instead of making efforts and consuming resources to convince a million citizens in an idea, selling them the war as an example, governments can easily head to the religious organization in their country, and with the right motivation, the clerks will get the job done for the government.

The new guy surprised me when he resumed:-

• The new soldier:- to be honest, the situation in PUBG is way better.

• Naser:- before you continue, the weapons are expensive, so they won't just let them on the ground for you to loot.

• The new soldier:- that's a good point

He smiled in my face, and resumed:-

• The new soldier:- I didn't say the other army was unarmed.
• Naser:- What!
• The new soldier:- We land with the rifle, which will jam after a few shots, so we had to kill an enemy with these few shots and take his weapon, the harshness is that each time we get back alive, they take the weapons we seized from the enemy and the argument is that your brothers at another battlefield need these weapons, this used to kill me whenever it happens, especially when I see the young fooled men believing this crab.
• Naser:- What happens to these weapons?
• The new soldier:- Well, the Bastard of our religion we spouse to defend, and his cortege, are now warlords, and they work worldwide.

he was so aggressive with his tone, so I thought:-

• Naser:- hey let me ask you a question, what if they were right, and this guy took your hand to heaven, what will you feel then?
• The new soldier:- give me a cigarette.

I lit two, gave him one, and kept one for myself, he inhaled a deep breath, and said:-

• The new soldier:- I'm an atheist, God and money has cost the human kind more than anything in the world.
• Naser:- so you are a mercenary?
• The new soldier:- Now you get me

The mercenaries have found for themselves a place in the modern wars, as a kind of a job, or a business, it's been regulated under the context of ( a private security company), they are present in the regular wars, of the gang wars.
there are armies with low human power, so these countries go to the private security companies upon wars, as for gang wars, the intelligence services start a back channel with these companies to get them to interfere according to the state interest, meanwhile, politicians and intelligence officers gets their commission for bringing contracts for these companies.
Though this new soldier wasn't related to any private security company, I saw this through the private trainers who came to train the Ustions soldiers, and we witnessed some soldiers who don't belong to our or Satan's army.

I thought Ustio leadership cared for our lives and brought us high-quality trainers, but someone from the western countries published an article, that says giving soldiers a high-quality training to survive the battlefield situations is a lot cheaper than having the soldiers killed, because this means you'll need to train new soldiers and send them to battle, and training them will take time, and time means food, salaries, and operations money for the camps, like electricity and water and stuff like that.
and there is a possibility that a gap between forces happens, and when it happens you can't reinforce the troops with troops under training, because they will be crushed against a trained army in no time, and their weapons which cost a lot of money will be seized in the enemy's hands.

did you think the leadership won't send the troops because they care for them? no, don't worry about that, The leadership doesn't give a damn about our lives.
