Applicants have to pay €700 to be trained for 5 days, and there is a high drop out rate. The company might be turning in a profit from all the applicants who pay the training fee and then quit

Wow. I make more than that just sitting here looking at Lemmy posts working diligently.

Mercenaries?

Wtf. Why does this article make it seem like a feel good story?
3,400€/month to be part of some special forces doesn't seem like a good deal? Like, sure. It's a good salary. But for joining a war where about a third of the soldiers already are casualties it seems a bit low. At least if you view them as mercenaries. For volunteers I guess that the ideological reasons play a huge part. But why does the company emphasize that they are only called volunteers to avoid legal issues? The whole thing seems quite sketchy.
