(91,935 posts)Looks like lots of volunteers are showing up for free. Pooty, on the other hand, can't seem to keep soldiers on the field and also has a serious recruitment problem.
I wonder how pooty thinks he's going to pay mercenaries in the first place, it's not like everybody doesn't know that his access to funds in shrinking.
