BlackWaters Founder Eric Prince In Africa

I dispute the sentence "War is not a Corporate Venture"..... you are wrong...... do some research....."War is a Corporate Venture"..

read "War is a Racket"..... by General Smedley.....

Old Gimlet Eye's pamphlet should be right up there with "Common Sense" but that will never be the case.

Sure our economic concerns should have a bearing on our decision to go to war but for what its worth only in the context that another is threatening our existential being not as a means to raise quarterly profits.

In the second case perhaps Id agree if the CEO was in the next fighting hole. If its worth the sacrifice of Mr and Mrs Smiths only son/daughter than its worth the CEO eating an IED.

What has this guy done really? He's created jobs for veterans. Kids that have gotten so hyped up and trained to go over a kill bodies and eat babies, fucked with, lied to and stuck with all kinds of vaccines to go fight and die in some bullshit war in a bullshit God forsaken country under the guise of freedom only to get there and have their hands so fucking tied by ROE's that it's a war crime to do the job you were trained to do. They get used up, burnt out, chewed up and spit back into society with literally no useable skill set in our kinder gentler society. So what are their options? Fuck the va and gov like they've been fucked (influx of fraudulent va and social security claims), eat a bullet (veteran suicide rate is through the fucking roof), fight every day to fit into a normal job (some people it's an easy transition, others not so much), OR they can make some decent cash using the skills they learned. What's the harm there? Making cash you deserve and transparency in your mission: money. Plain and simple. Same as before, just a bit more honest

Hey, I'm looking for a job,, who's hiring??? In 2008, BlackWater told me to get law enforcement experience first, that's when I realized my "urge to keep soldiering on had ended...." But , I did talk to a young Ranger at Benning a few months ago, he said he was helping out at Sniper School to avoid deployment, but he said he was going to the Academia and they were hiring B4's...

Maybe you should go fk yourself.

An erudite response and just as well thought out as your line of logic on PMCs.
