Put up or shut up.

You don’t understand how sources work. Let me break this down for you.
That troops are imperialist killers-for-hire is my conclusion drawn from historical facts. Those historical facts include that they went abroad to occupy a country for decades in a war of aggression that killed hundreds of thousands of people.
If you’re disputing those facts, tell me what you’re disputing and I will happily supply a source for it. If you agree with those facts, then no source is needed. If you agree with those facts but still disagree with my conclusions, then you must disagree with my logic and reasoning, which doesn’t need a source.
If you don’t understand my reasoning, then I’m happy to explain it, but I think it’s pretty straightforward. They are hired to kill people, so they are killers-for-hire.
If you understand my reasoning but still disagree with my conclusion, then you can challenge some specific part of said reasoning.
That is how reasoning and debate works. You don’t just point wildly at whatever someone says and demand a source. If you’re asking for a source, it means that you disagree with some specific fact underlying the chain of reasoning.
