Editing McMercenaries:Orientation (section)

==NGOPS: Hippies... they're everywhere...==

'''NGOPS''' - private, non-profit combat charities, like ''Assassins Without Borders'', ''Meanpeace'' and ''Christian Children's Corps'' - are the bane of every McMercenary's life: Do-gooders on the battlefield, fighting for causes they believe in.  They are better trained than you, better armed than you, and filled with the enthusiasm and zeal doing good works brings.  And because many McMercenary companies have policies of giving some of their revenues to charity, most often they're partially funded by you.

What a bunch of bastards.

Worse, the NGOPS - nigh-universally the kids of rich parents who kept them out of student debt in college - all think that you're all a bunch of corporatist bastards who sold your souls for a paycheck and the latest in cyberware, while their org is running on a shoestring and a prayer and barely has enough money to keep its operatives in bullets.  NGOPS are nigh-universally a way for militant post-college liberals to meet other militant post-college liberals, form short, tempestuous marriages and result in bitter children.

Yet, somehow, their Birkenshock Smart Armor is always shiny, and their Latte always steaming hot.

Utter bastards.

In the heads-up displays of McMercs, NGOPS tend to be labeled as "Civilian: Do Not Shoot" unless their designer autorifles are clearly visible to the sensors.
