It’s particularly annoying that the article focused on American elections, which basically had nothing to do with SOF magazine. Especially when PMCs have become so widespread in the last few decades, and the modern mercenary’s role in recent conflicts. But I guess the “new” magazine isn’t really intended to cover that industry.
