    Most of them are there for the money.

    They don’t even get the full basic equipment and have to pay for it themselves, what are you talking about? I’m not talking about professional soldiers, mercenaries etc, but conscripted civilians.

    Do you have any sources to disprove the many sources that have been saying otherwise for some time? For example.
