Erik Prince: Slash the Pentagon by 40%? Easy

June 29, 2017 By Richard C. Young

Originally posted December 9, 2013.

The founder of Blackwater and former Navy SEAL Erik Prince offers this startling assessment, Mr. Prince explains that the Pentagon budgets $2.1 million for every active duty soldier. Blackwater, by comparison, could put a highly trained operator on the field of action for just $400,000/yr.

Regarding Benghazi, Mr. Prince believes that had Blackwater been on the job, our American ambassador would not have been killed. Knowing what I do about Blackwater, I believe Eric Prince’s view is correct. Prince supports his position by reminding National Review readers that Blackwater ran over 100,000 runs in Iraq and Afghanistan and not a single Blackwater-assigned diplomat was ever killed.

The government’s witch-hunt of a suit against Blackwater over the Nisour Square incident has been dismissed. Erik Prince, who now lives in Abu Dhabi, sets the record straight in Civilian Warriors.
