like how does that work, like they are getting paid to fight or like they are getting paid while fighting ???
i always thot it was a volunteer thing.
typically they get supplies, equipment and salaries from gulf states like Saudi Arabia (often funneled directly from the US and UK).
People volunteer to join and get paid salaries to fight. I used to have data on how much ISIS and other rebel groups were paid (less than 20% of the rebels in Syria are actually from Syria) but I don't know if I saved it. -

the way i see it is :
if their motivation to fight is mainly money, then their mercenaries.
if their main motivation to fight is something else, then their something else.
jihadhists, crusaders, communists, nazis etc etc. -

its like they tell them that in return for fighting god will pay them with life. for every day they fight god will pay them 1 day of life. and when god doesn't want them to fight anymore he will not pay them with anymore days of life, in which case they can then stop fighting.

2018-06-17 at 7:17 PM UTC"Men get their rights from God, not from government.
Government, a man-made creature, has nothing except what it takes from God-created men.
Government can give the people NOTHING that it has not first taken away from them.
Hence, if man is to remain free, he must have a government which will play a very limited and negative role in his private affairs.
The United States is the only nation, ever, whose institutions and organic law were founded on this principle.
The United Nations' Declaration of Human Rights; the Constitution of the Soviet Union; and
the written and unwritten constitutions of every other nation in the world are all built on a political principle exactly opposite in meaning to the basic principle of Americanism." -
