The fact that they can call in their friends at a moment's notice makes it a good idea to keep one or two on sentry in frontier town--as long as the money keeps flowing. A Mercenary that has served some time in the armed forces of any country that needs them finishes up as wealthy by any men's standards, and fabulously rich by the standards of the nomads from whence they come. A stint as a mercenary can often supply the funds that are needed to make a bid for control of the tribe, and it has been known to happen that soldiers have faced their old comrades in arms at the head of a barbarian raiding party, but that is not always the case. Learned men say that perhaps the mercenaries bring some aspects of civilization back with them. One can always hope that the barbarians are willing to learn from their example; unfortunately they appear most apt pupils in the art of weapon making.
