** because then we wouldn't have a movie.
** Sure we would. Dukhovich could have had a fanatically-loyal lieutenant working to kill Kincaid instead of Dukhovich calling all the shots personally. ''Film/AirForceOne'' has a similar "free the dictator" background for its immediate action, and the dictator in that has nothing to do with organizing the action.

** Dukhovich also takes pride in his humble origins, so he may have been a soldier himself, or have done some dirty work. And it’s much more sadistic to personally commit the kill.

** The pay must be really good. If Dukhovich is freed and regains power in Belarus, he will have plenty of resources to reward the mercs with and may even make them his personal army or bodyguard service. Also, a huge chunk of them are former Belarusian Army who may be facing charges and losing their livelihoods themselves if Dukhovich loses and want him back so they get their jobs back, along with some money.

** There may be a few opponents who still love the current flag.



* Why are the mercenaries this dedicated? Mercenaries aren't fighting for an ideology or belief, they fight to get paid. Dozens, possibly hundreds, of them are killed off over the course of the movie but at no point do they ever seem to consider that this job isn't worth the pay. And even if they ''do'' survive and get paid, their company are now international criminals.

** Kincaid established that he only kills people he finds to be evil. Given the crimes Dukovich was guilty of, it's safe to assume he's the most evil man Kincaid has ever come across. Given that Dukhovich has been trying to kill Kincaid for the last couple of days and [[spoiler:he shot Bryce]], it comes to no surprise that he would want to make sure Dukovich gets what's coming to him.
