Caps better Professional soldiers or Mercenaries?

Okay, me and my Libra friend have been arguing about this for the past few days. He's the reason why I decided to post the topic about which signs would be mercenaries. But, he persists that Capricorn and Aries would make the best mercs. I had to disagree and agree with him on something like that. I feel that if anyone were to do something like the Military then life would become to much of a routine like my other Cap friend; he's got 6 years till retirement and even he's said he's pretty tired of it. I think Aries would be that simply because he enjoys war and can't stand to be without a gun in his hand putting towards someone's face. If it was Capricorn, I think he would just be there for the money and situation is a lot more high risk when you're protecting individuals or acting as a police force for a country. But I came back with a arguing statement that we're a lot more honorable than that and it would make better sense to fight in actual combat then to get paid way more than the average soldier does wen they basically do the same job. And besides, it makes sense to defend your nation's ideologies, interests, and beliefs. I don't mind companies who work for that country; it's just they don't have as much discretion for shooting people. What do you think? I know which side I'm on, but which do you agree with?

It only makes sense to fight for your owners if you like how they control you.
Which personally, I don't. If I was to go into any of that, I'd probably be a rogue on classified contracts as a janitor. I'd much rather be the one non existent soul to single handedly change a place's history.

Makes plenty of sense. I usually think that being controlled like that is nothing more than constriction until you're dead. If there was room for other careers while you're working in a military like that than it would be less suffocating.

Neither. A Pisces would come along and beat them all...and then the fish will turn in the opposite direction & nurse their wounds.

Seriously though; like Aquas, the Caps will fight for their comrades or for ideals. An Aries will fight for their comrades & because of the action. So there are some similarities as well as some differences between both hoofed animals, the goat & the ram.

That's why Pisces is awesome. But you got s point. I would rather fight for my ideals.

What do you mean?

Responsible for the food supply, financial, medical, veterinary and ware maintenance of the army.

Louis maintained the intendants, who thenceforth became the regular representatives of royal power. There were 33 intendants for the 34 g?n?ralit?s of France in 1789. The intendants?? authority extended into every sphere of provincial administration: they were responsible for carrying out the central power??s orders in their g?n?ralit?s, supervising the local officials, representing the crown at the local autonomous bodies (provincial assemblies in particular), and informing the central power about the economic situation and public opinion in their g?n?ralit?s. Their mission remained always one of providing information rather than of making decisions, and in order to act they had to obtain an order from the king??s council, which, however, would usually be drafted on the lines they suggested. As intendants of justice they could preside over local courts, suspend unsatisfactory magistrates, and set up extraordinary tribunals to suppress brigandage and sedition. As intendants of finance, they determined the incidence of taxes in the district and discussed with the assemblies the amount of the annual taxes to be voted in the district assemblies; by the end of the 17th century, it was their responsibility to collect new taxes. Responsible for public order, they coordinated the activities of the pr?v?ts des mar?chaux (the police force under the marshals of France) and sometimes intervened in the affairs of private persons, prompting the dispatch of lettres de cachet. They also controlled municipal administration. Their great power made them unpopular, and it was partly to remedy their excess of power that the so-called assembl?es provinciales, with consultative and administrative powers, were set up throughout France in 1787; the powers of the intendants were suppressed in 1789.

I don't try to kid you all.
An intendant just means a supplier. It seems a little bit weird but it is that.
I'd rather organize plants in *Siberia* than send walls of people fencing their way by the barrier units.

Would this also fall under that banner, Serge?
From wikipedia:
"to learn about all crimes, misdemeanors and financial misdealings committed by our officials and of other things concerning our service and the tranquility of our people"

Well I think a Quartermaster doesn't have anything to do with that. If there was something close to it though it would be financial.

I like Siberia during the Spring. Oh yeah; what did you mean by sending walls of people fencing their way by the barrier units? Does that have something to do with being in command or something else?

Ah, so they're divided out by industry, if that's the right word?

No more any step back! There are *your* troops that will fire you (after a step back any soldier becomes not *their* for them but an alien).
This means to win by the quantity not by the mastery.
This is widely argued.

* Quartermaster


the wagon wheel is symbolic of transportation and delivery of supplies.


Oh yeah.

Good point. Well at least humanity isn't a colony of ants.

No grass!

I think it depends on the principals involved. Sometimes the mercenaries are the good guys.
My opinion is the cap will fight for what's right and for what they believe in, could be either side of the fence depending on what the fight is about.

Very reasonable answer. The Caps I know don't blindly follow orders if they're wrong or inhuman. Personally I prefer to fight for what I believe in, not what someone else wants me to believe in. I love this country; but I don't take to kind for idiots who take advantage of it and obscure the picture of it. What do you personally believe in?
