So at the end of the war, there was a rather large number of Confederate (-ed States of America) officers, NCOs, soldiers and sailors who laid down their arms. They were released on May 27, 1865.

There might still be some of them who did possess military skills, would it be feasible for a large number of them to be employed by a certain foreign country. Surely they would like to work for a better pay other than stay unemployed in a devastated south?

Any candidate for such an employer? Asian militaries in need of rapid modernization come to my mind. Japan, China, Persia, Turkey, etc. If any of them felt an urge to hire more foreign educators and advisors, they might be able to make a difference to their won countries and to the lives of CS veterans.
