  2. If there were a battle today we would win even though we won before. We have a good army now. We have the weaknesses that we had are now strengths. We ware now a lot of men in the army. We are trained. We have the guns for the war. We are good now. Everyone is on the America side now.

  3. The people fighting for the love of their country because people that are getting paid only look for the money and does not care if they win or loose they are still getting paid for even having the guts to be in a situation like that. We have more guns and useful guns that work in the rain. so i say that the people fighting for their country will win.

  4. The Americans would when the battle because we defeated them and they were only fighting for the love of money, and what really is needed to be fighting for is the love out country.

  5. Today i think the mercenaries would win. I only think this because today people who go to war get a lot of things paid for and supported by the government. For the soldiers that go to war the government gives them money and guarantee a good life for you but if they don't survive their families are guaranteed that money.

  6. The person who would win the battle today will probably be the U.S because I think that we would have more people on our side like the chines people will help us win the war against the people who we are about to verse like the British or the Colonist.

    I would pick the people who are fighting for our country because people and new born kids need a life to began their new life.

  7. Well thats kinda hard to answer, in a battle today. From my eyes I say People fighting for the love of their country would win the battle. People fight for the love of their country would win because, they are fighting for something way more important. There not fighting for money they are fight for there homes, families and liberty. Being mercenaries and Fighting for they love of their country are two different things. Fighting for something positive is what people should stand up for. Thats why I say People fighting for the love of their country would win the battle.

  8. That the people who are fighting for the love of their country would win again because they love were they live so they would do anything possible to keep things the way they are. I wouldn't say the marcenaries would win because they would bail out if things got to tough. They wouldn't have the guts to stick it out.

  10. I think the people fighting for money will win. I think they would win because these days people will do anything for money. Another reason is because now there are more weapons. Having more weapons changes things because bombs can blow you up.

  11. Today the mercenaries would win.This because today people who go to war get a lot of things paid for and supported by the government. For the soldiers that go to war the government gives them money and guarantees a good life for them but if they don't survive their families are guaranteed that money.

  13. The People who are fighting their loved ones would win. They would win because they would have more focus on their lives because their fighting for loved ones. Mercenaries would not be focused on the battle because they would be thinking about the money all the time.

  14. People that fight for the love of their country. This is because people who fight for love are always fighting for something and people who fight for money have no reason to fight. So people who are fighting for love will try every thing they can do to keep things right.

  17. The people who love their country. because the people that love their countries they fight harder. The mercenaries do not care they just care about the money. If there was a fight the people who love their country will win. there should not be any mercenaries.

  18. People fighting for the love of their country would definitely win. They would win because its for the love of their countries. They aren't mercenaries. They fought for liberty. The mercenaries wouldn't win because they're just fighting for something thats eventually going to be spent.

  19. We Americans will win the battle because we fight for the love of our country not for money like the mercenaries do in which i think its wrong to fight for money because your risking your life. But anyways we will win the battle because the mercenaries have useless guns that don't even work in the rain but they are supported by the government and were not, but we are well trained and we have more troops then they have and we work really hard.
