Is Hizballah a Mercenary Organization? (E141), The Ancient Art of Modern Warfare Podcast

July 16, 2026July 16, 2026

I am honoured to have been invited to join Colonel Christopher T. Mayer and Doug Brooks to discuss ‘Is Hizballah a Mercenary Organization?’.

It is an interesting discussion.

Colonel Christopher T. Mayer has an impressive background and experience. His website, The Ancient Art of Modern Warfare, is worth a visit.

Is Hizballah a Mercenary Organization? (E141)

The common definition of a mercenary is a soldier paid to fight in an armed conflict for a country that is not his or her own. The terrorist organization Hizballah operates in Lebanon, fighting against Israel, with financial, material and organizational support from Iran, and frequently under the direction of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. Under the common definition, could Hizballah be considered mercenaries fighting for Iran? Royce de Melo, Doug Brooks, and I discuss this question in this episode of the Ancient Art of Modern Warfare.
