"Mercenaries..are useless & dangerous; if one holds his state based on these arms, he will stand neither firm nor safe; for they are disunited, ambitious & without discipline, unfaithful, valiant before friends, cowardly before enemies..The mercenary captains are either capable men or they are not; if they are, you cannot trust them..they always aspire to their own greatness..by oppressing you, who are their master.." --Niccolò Machiavelli, "The Prince," (c. 1513) Ch. 12
