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. The term 'mercenary' is also used to describe the army itself.
He hired an army of mercenaries to fight the battle for him, paying them money.
The mercenary only wanted the money for what he had done.

The mercenary is a professional wrrior, who is often hired as a skilled defender or fighter. Mercenaries go out to the highest bidder, and lack any sense of honor, but they are very skilled at fighting, often relying upon their cache of dirty tricks to defeat an opponent. Mercenaries are not very trustworthy, and often will switch alliances in the midst of a battle.

n. Mer'-suh-nerry, a contemporary American that lives out of total self-interest regardless of his/her impact on others. Totally driven to self-aggrandizement, but shallow, stupid, semi-literate and generally not interested in anything outside of shopping or self-promotion. Will eventually self-destruct by disappearing up own asshole.
Often found reading Us ("Pus") Magazine to find out what other degenerate fools do with their empty, pathetic lives.
Lacks sense of morality and decency. Essentially for sale to the highest bidder, regardless of consequences or prior purchased allegiances.
Will annihilate those perceived to threaten a mercenary's existence. Subtle undercurrent of destructive behaviour.
syn. Whore, Prostitute, Waste of space, suburban dweller, Californian
ant. person of integrity, person with a soul, decent human being

That Paris is such a mercenary. She doesn't know or care about anything except herself.
I was feeling like a mercenary so I hung around Worth Avenue all day carrying a snobby shopping bag.
Those Hessian Mercenaries got their butts kicked and then they went shopping to assuage their feelings of low self-worth.

A person who takes actions for himself and not for others. He chooses to trust himself, have few friends, be self-independent, and prefers not to believe in faith, family, money, society, and popular culture. He highly values honor, merit, integrity, intelligence, and self-righteousness. He is not afraid to take risks, become hypocritical to his own self, make "the ends justify the means", betray his own people and nations, and usually has nothing to lose. Also prefers to associate himself with words like radical, renegade, and revolution.
See radical.

Me: Don't get me wrong here, I'll go out there and fight for my "dear little nation", but be rest assured that I will forever be a mercenary than a patriot.
