Erik Prince, the world’s most infamous military contractor, wants his private military forces for Afghanistan. 

In a document dated August 2017, parts of which have been seen by the Financial Times, he proposes a two-year plan for fewer than 5,000 global guns for hire and under 100 aircraft, bringing the total cost of the US effort to turn round a failing war to less than $10bn a year.

This is a very bad idea. Do you really want Erik Prince to form a separate private Army with a separate command and control outside of the US government. Ultimately a well trained militia that Trump can import back to the United States? They have their own combat capabilities controlled and answerable only to Donald Trump? Not a good idea at all.

1. Absolutely not! I protest against his sister with the same vigor.

Neither of them want what's best for the country...only what is best for them. Evil people who hide behind religion to do their dirty deeds. The U.S. cannot afford the image of a Prince War/defense, let alone the dollar cost. The world knows Prince better than we do, I should think. He was doing his dirty work in Iraq, wasn't he?

Stay away from him, U.S.!!!!

2. So they can murder more innocent civilians and rape more female employees?

Eric Prince belongs in jail. His entire family including his idiot sister is a prime example of what is destroying this country.
