It was 2:1 join with pirates when I typed this. Sorry, mr. ninja.
And the GM said, FUCK RAILROADS!

You steal the guy's clothes, noting his skin tone was that of... Medium? Not black and not white, but closer to white. You remember some of these people from earlier were straight up white, so, you're in luck.
The clothing dosen't exactly fit right, it's rather loose and if it wasn't for the belt you'd have trouble keeping your pants on. While slightly irritating, it's nothing you can't deal with.
You walk out into the group of bandits completely unnoticed. Listening to their chatter is boring, but eventually hints at where a leader is located.
Just as you near his "house" (which was pretty pitifully constructed by American standards but was actually pretty good for the island you were on) you hear someone scream.
"AY, YO, THE PRISONER IS LOOSE! SEARCH THE AREA!"
Shit.
The leader bursts out of his cabin in time to see you standing in his doorway.
"Hey. I'm a soldier. You should let me join you, instead of selling me into slavery. I'll just kill your buyers."
Maybe it was that no one noticed that you were right in front of them, maybe it was the AK-47, or maybe he was just looking for a new person."
"Sure, but you'd better be sure. I don't want any mutiny or doubt. There's a rebel outpost near here, I want it gone. If you can do it, I think you'll go far. Deal?"
Sighing, you agree. You didn't exactly want to kill anyone right off the bat, but it wasn't like you had that much of a choice.
"I'll at least get you some clothes that fit. Or, try. Fuck, how about I just let you into the storeroom? We don't exactly have guns you don't already have."

After finding some semi-fitting clothes, you find yourself in a crimson t-shirt, loose-fitting jeans, a red headband, sneakers, and arm bandages. You looked like a bona-fide bad person. Armed with a belt full of magazines and a regular AK-47, you meet up with the leader again.
"All right. You're fighting natives to the island, which cause us problems. We're criminals. They don't like us. We don't like them. We all have guns. Go solve that."
Simple enough. You ride a jeep filled with three other pirates up to the target village. It's small, nestled next to a cliff, and has a road going through it. You see the other pirates- one carries a Dragunov SVD and a Skorpion, the others just AK-47s.
You scout the area with the pirates before going in and [4] find multiple armed soldiers- in fact, you find nearly no one who's unarmed.
You need to command the pirates. Who will do what?
