"Letters of marque and reprisal are government-issued commissions that authorize private citizens (privateers) to perform acts that would otherwise be considered piracy, like attacking enemy ships during wartime," Lee explained. "Privateers are rewarded with a cut of the loot they ‘bring home.’"

Love it. I like to see Mercs go after the Cartels for profit. They're mostly ex Special Forces types hired as '"contractors".

The only problem is sometimes they lack loyalty and go to highest bidder, which could possibly be the Cartels themselves, but they're probably already doing that anyway.
