Mercenaries for Humanity

[Tydeus]

So, I came up with this on the bus:

A non-profit, humanitarian organization, but composed of mercenaries. Getting ethnically cleansed? Give us a ring, and we'll drop by with some heavily armed and armored soldiers who'll take care of your problem. We'll sell t-shirts and writbands. It'll be great.

"Making the world safer, one bullet at a time." (slogan)

In all seriousness, the idea is pretty simple. Basically, the UN, but with bullets. We wouldn't do regime change, and we'd try our best to get the support of the UN and/or other world powers. We'd be strictly non-profit, so we'd be able to take on cases with no possibility of monetary gain, like Darfur.

Darfur is actually sort of the archetypical "job" that Mercenaries for Humanity would take. Ethnic cleansing, defenseless refugees, not regime change, defense-oriented. Janjaweed come into a village, expecting to rape and pillage, and instead find a dozen soldiers. It'd be an international force dedicated to giving people their comuppance.

Eh?
