Technically No. the government pays them. Morally, Yes. Their leaders send them to support corporate profits..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman true. During gulf war Kuwait paid US govt (not troops) 300 million a day to protect them .

@whowasthatmaskedman saddam just wanted what he was promised (for protecting the gulf from Iran from 80-88) but the Kuwaiti royal family screwed him over so he invaded. Guess it was cheaper to pay us than him

@AthrillatheHunt I hesitate to say too much about Arabs and used camel salesmen. But my experience tells me this sort of thing is a pretty regular occurance in the region..😷
