>I will never be an Algerian soldier fighting for Free France in North Africa, facing casual and institutional discrimination from my fellow brothers-in-arm, but I power through it because I know I am fighting for the greater good against an absolute evil, but one day a native French soldier spits in my rations and picks on me so I break down and deliver an emotional monologue about my allegiances while putting him in his place.

Been there, done that. Didn't live up to all the hype.

>I will never be an African American soldier in the Vietnam War who gave his life for his country but ultimately became just another nameless, faceless casualty in some small firefight in the middle of nowhere, while my family back home still sits at the back of the bus and isn't allowed to vote.

hmmm...
and what would that be?

>>60652428

it's not about being le buzzword, it's about romanticising a seemingly undignified act. Those Algerians were fighting for a country they've never even seen, and that makes them that much more admirable, in a way, at least to me. Kinda like how The Myth of Sisyphus is reinterpreted by Camus, imagining the tragic character as happy, as an act of rebellion against Zeus.

Mercenaries generally don't fight for reasons other than personal gain.
