Mercenaries do not: a) fight in the same uniform as the country for whom they are fighting. b) sign up for 15 to 20 years service to the *same* cause. c) don't pay income tax to their employer. d) do NOT swear an oath of allegiance to the monarch/head of state of the country they are fighting for. The Gurkhas are not remotely close to being mercenaries.
