A mercenary is a person who takes part in an armed conflict who is not a national or a party to the conflict and is "motivated to take part in the hostilities by the desire for private gain". In other words, a mercenary is a person who fights for personal gains of money or other recompense instead of fighting for the ideological interests of a country, whether they be for or against the existing government. In the last century, and as reflected in the Geneva Convention, mercenaries have increasingly come to be seen as less entitled to protections by rules of war than non-mercenaries. However, whether or not a person is a mercenary may be a matter of degree, as financial and national interests may overlap.
Protocol Additional GC 1977 (APGC77) is a 1977 amendment protocol to the Geneva Conventions. Article 47 of the protocol provides the most widely accepted international definition of a mercenary, though not endorsed by some countries, including the United States. The Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts, (Protocol I), 8 June 1977 states:
The Hours can refer to:
Darkest Days is the third album released on Columbia Records by industrial rock band Stabbing Westward. The album was recorded in L.A. in 1997 and released in April 1998. Although the album failed to achieve the same level of success as Wither Blister Burn & Peel, the album received positive reviews and is often considered the band's best album. The band was dropped from Columbia Records following this release. The track "Save Yourself" reached number 4 on the U.S. Mainstream Rock chart (their highest-placing single on that chart) and number 20 on the U.S. Modern Rock chart and remains an alternative rock staple.
Darkest Days is a concept album made up of 4 acts, each portraying a different emotional phase gone through after a break-up. The first act (Tracks 1-4) is about sabotaging the relationship. The second act (Tracks 5-9) is about lust, hope, and longing. The third act (Tracks 10-12) is about hitting rock bottom after it's all over. The fourth act (13-16) is about recovery and self-respect.
The Sickness is the debut studio album by the American heavy metal band Disturbed. The album was released on March 7, 2000. The album peaked at number 29 on the Billboard 200 chart and it has spent a total of 103 weeks on that chart, as of June 2010. It is, to date, Disturbed's only album to not hit number one on the Billboard 200.The Sickness has been certified 4x platinum by the RIAA, with around 4,248,000 copies sold in the United States alone as of 2011, making it the band's most successful album. It is one of three Disturbed albums to have the Parental Advisory label and contain high amounts of profanity.
On March 23, 2010, a reissue of the album was released, which includes B-sides, new artwork, and exclusive online content. This reissue celebrates the tenth anniversary of the release of the album and is available for the first time in vinyl format. Disturbed's guitarist, Dan Donegan, commented on the reissue: "[...] it's the album that put us on the map and launched our career. So we went back into the studio and we remixed it, we're having it remastered, we're gonna put a couple of bonus tracks on there and touch up some of the packaging and the artwork. Just a little collector's item, a little tribute to that album for the fans".
Our Darkest Days is the fourth full-length album by Californian punk band Ignite, released in 2006.
In 2007, Century Media released a special tour edition in Europe. The tour edition includes two extra tracks (last time and the demo version of bleeding) and also contains the video of bleeding. The tour edition has a different artwork and it was available for a fan-friendly price at the band's European tour.

a documentary about mercenaries in iraq
I saw you laughing
Saw your tears decay
I heard you speak to me
Washed my smile away
We're failing
It's failing
These twisted thoughts inside of me
They are failing
I can feel this tragedy
Pure and simple tragedy
Grey!
So break my twisted world
It is the only way
And take these chains of gold
And let me die this way
Please believe me
I lost my soul today
My friend it's ending now
There's nothing left to say
I can feel this tragedy
Pure and simple tragedy
We're failing
It's failing
These twisted thoughts inside of me
They are failing
I saw you laughing
Saw your tears decay
I heard you speak to me
Washed my smile away
I can feel this tragedy
