Ohhh I see. When put that way, I can see why PMCs get a bad rap, and make great villains.

It's also not exactly great to think of mercenaries as strictly villains. Just because they are motivated by high pay doesn't mean they necessarily have no morals or do good work. Sure, some get in hot water for doing awful shit, but never forget they're former soldiers for the most part and just because someone waves a shitload of money in their face doesn't mean they are obligated to take the contract. 

It also doesn't do your company any good if you're known for taking jobs from warlords who kill innocent people. It's why Blackwater making the news for doing awful shit was huge; it would not have become headline news if it was the norm. Yes, a lot of mercenaries do shitty, awful things. So do soldiers. Butwe as a society like to think that all soldiers are doing their jobs based off similar noble principles like we say about WWII vets. We think corporations are evil and amoral, so someone who is at war for a good pay check with no nationalistic loyalty must be a thug, right? Not a good line of thought. Nothing is ever black and white.
