thats quite bad.not as bad as 20usd a month like it was for yugoswlav army during balkan wars, though.
is it true that the ffl will make sure your criminal record is deleted?
i dont see that as viable option anymore these days, bc even with new identity, dna and fingerprints still remain the same.
or is that criminal record forgiven thing a fairytale anyway?
and how much do private contractors get?
They will take you in if you're not a fugitive for a major crime like murder, rape and things of that sort(They cross-check your name with interpol). Once you're in, they give you a temporary new name. After serving 5 years, you can get a French citizenship with a clean criminal record.
So essentially, you'd become a French citizen with a clean criminal record and can do as you wish within France. If your country of origin allows for dual-citizenship, then you can keep both passports, if not, then you choose between your country of origin or France.
PMC (Private Military Companies) AKA mercenary groups, pay a very high salary in most cases. On average, you can be making 150K-200K for various international missions, most commonly now in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other messy hot zones around the world.
