    Anyone who does this type of work for money and isn’t employed directly by a government is a “professional mercenary.” What’s the difference between some ex-Marine who gets hired as a mercenary after a 4 year tour and an “ordinary” or “commonly criminal” person?

    You’re using “professional” to mean “ethical and skilled” but anyone who takes a job killing people for money from the highest bidder is far from that.
