Its a quotation from the portion of the Declaration of Independence where specific grievances against King George III of Britain are being cataloged. It is a reference to the "Hessians", professional soldiers actually from half a dozen Germanic states, who had been rented from their own monarchs to fight for the British against the Patriots in America. (Where Germany is today there were at that time dozens of "Germanic states", a few of which were fairly large, and many which were little more than city-states. In several of these the main business was renting out their armed forces to fight for any other king who had the money to pay). These were not mercenaries as we understand the term today, because nobody was paying the soldiers anything, including their own government. The money Britain paid for their services went to their own king. These "Hessians" in the ancient tradition of Europe were subject to compulsory military service, for which they were not paid a cent. If they wanted anything for themselves, they were expected to plunder the people living where they were sent, and this they did with great enthusiasm is America.

After the rise of the "Bolshevik Revolution" in 1917-18, Russia as a whole was plunged into a period of general disruption and civil war, with phases of greater and lesser chaos dominating in various parts of the large country. Into the 1920s, "Red" and "White" armies fought to take control, with foreign armies and mercenaries also involved quite frequently.

Were there us vets as mercenaries in the Vietnam war?
Most probably not. US mercenaries operating in a CZ (Combat Zone) which contains massive amounts of US troops would not be profitable (nor healthy) for a "soldier of fortune." Money (or other fortunes) are worthless to dead mercenaries. The closest were the CIA operatives (Ravens, etc.). Mercenaries traditionally do well where both survival & profits go hand in hand; which largely means operating in an area which does not contain large numbers of opposing GOVERNMENT armies. Mercenaries thrive in regions that are normally "un-civilized", which enables them to "basically do as they want" or "need to do" to collect that paycheck.
