This question arises from an old issue of the National Geographic I was leafing through the other day, and I'd like to pose to you the same question that was asked of the soldiers, sailors and airmen in that ten-year-old article.
You are approached one day by a senior Officer, let's say a Colonel. If you're retired he comes to your house, if you're serving he catches you during a quiet five minutes on base.
He tells you that he's looked at your files and that he'd like to, with your permission, put your contact details down in his notebook in case he needs someone with your qualities to take part in a little off-the-books, provate military work in the future; all strictly hush hush, but you'd get paid £/$ 10k for a weeks' work no questions asked...a one-off mercenary mission basically, perhaps years from now.
You know he is being genuine.
What would you, personally, do? Give him your details? Say no, thanks, and walk away....or report him to the MPs?
