For comparison: Average gross income in Spain is €2,250 (net €1,785). Minimum wage in Spain is €1,260. Cost of living for a single with a moderate income is roughly at €1,750.

Spain has a high unemployment rate, currently. Especially the youth.

Three times the minimum salary doesn't seem too enticing to go into a warzone. Money is useless if you're dead and won't cover for your disabilities if you get injured. But hey that's just me, each to their own I guess.

Pretty sure your injuries or disabilities would be covered for work related injuries in Europe. But other than that I agree, especially on a personal level.
