Prince comes across as slightly callous. He seems to neglect and ignore the bloodshed and death that Blackwater Contractors unleashed throughout Iraq and Afghanistan
The trouble started with Blackwater when they basically got every defense contract they bid on. Originally, they hired only spec ops guys. SEALS, Delta, Rangers. They started getting greedy. They had more contracts than they had guys to fill the spots so they started hiring guys that where regular Army or Marines that their only experience was that they had had multiple tours. A lot of them where undisciplined cowboys.
I never saw anything that wasn't justified when I was around them while deployed. War is ugly. The Government was smart by hiring a 3rd party. Plausible deniability.

People saying he was thrown under the bus but blackwater is able to operate in a special legal grey zone where they cannot be prosecuted by civilian or military court.. doesn't sound like being thrown under the bus to me
Thats not true. They can be prosecuted. The agreement they signed specifically addresses this. It simply says they cant be prosecuted by the local governemnt. IE, they couldnt be prosecuted by Iraqi courts when in Iraq. Theyre subject to the US military and US courts. It's detailed specifically in his book with quotes from the contract with the state department. It's a total myth that contractors are in a special gray area and outside of the law. They're just protected so that they can't be prosecuted as war criminals by local jurisdictions, just like the military.
Lol they operate under the same guidelines as anyone enlisted in any branch of the US Military- it’s called the UCMJ or Universal Code of Military Justice... every PMC contracted by the United States is held accountable for their actions just like any other enlisted soldier... the only difference is when ppl hear “private military” they automatically assume rules don’t apply to them. The only reason you’ve heard so much about Blackwaters mistakes in the news is because they were used as a scapegoat for many of the problems the United States ran into over here including innocent civilian deaths. Don’t just assume PMC’s are the only ppl accidentally killing civilians- it happens everyday over there, it’s just swept under the rug because the government would rather protect their own ass and point the finger at someone else.

@@bellmeisterful bruh, the way wrongfully-convicted inmates walk out of prison, is through a re-trial with a new jury, new judge and new evidence. These four blackwater guards were convicted by a jury of their peers in a public, fair, scrutinized trial. They now walk free because of a presidential pardon that doesn't offer any new reason or evidence why their killing 14 civilians were justified. 12 American men and women listened to relevant evidence and testimony in a court of law and found BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that these four blackwater guards were guilty. And now I am supposed to PUT ASIDE the jury's verdict, and instead believe Eric Prince, who has a personal motive to lie about the case?
They are murderers for hire... No soul no Hart ...and should be brought to justice.. oh and. We the people for the people.. we are the government but most people forget that...
Folks please keep in mind the Govt. went to this man and begged for his help. What you don't know is that he volunteered his helicopter and crews to fly aid to New Orleans during the hurricane, he has funded orphanages, and had his guys fly missons to support troops on the ground when no one else would. everyone is focussing on his money, the guy is a great American.
And killed kids and infants and doctors, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers, and yes we should let him free cu z “ OWO but he did that one good thing”, it’s like saying “hitler made nice artworks let him free”, hope you changed wholyshit you people where brainwashed
You know it's a hit piece when 90% of the talking during the 'interview' is narration by the reporter. They only showed a couple sentences at a time from Erik's responses. While Erik is probably not an angel, he kept the US govt from having to do a draft.
Glad I'm reading this guy's book Civilian Warriors because I don't trust the news these days anyway, whether it's conservative Fox News or liberal MSNBC.
When they first started, they were top notch. They took on convoy and VIP escort that freed up regular troops to do normal military ops. Then it all went haywire. I'm neither for or against contractors like BW. So long as they abide by the rules of combat. Despite popular opinion, they are needed. The state department and even the active force no longer has enough troop strength for some tasks deemed outside of normal combat operations. Look at our embassies. They are "all" undermanned and under armed. So are ports of call around the world where smaller Naval assets park for maintenance. Just get them under the rule of law.
Erik Prince should never had changed the name. Keep it BLACKWATER to establish reputation. Just like Pinkerton did in the civil war and the later part of the 19th century.
@@zacharyp6980 You think these ex-military heroes went back over there to do a job and decided to start shooting civilians and children? I think I can also guess how you vote..
@@zacharyp6980 ok first off, this was posted 6 years ago. Second, in my original comment not once did I say “yay kids are dead” it was a comment on the main stream media picking out what fits their narrative. Nothing related to your agenda. I really hope you find a hobby so you stop picking fights with people on the internet you don’t know. Happy new year ball bag.
The problem of any private military or law enforcement enterprise is that these ones are not really taking advantage from an fast and easily pacified conflict, but they need to keep things working well for them. “War profiteer” is not wrong in that context. Questionable is in general if private companies were suitable to “neutralize” human beings, also on behalf of jurisdiction. It’s not a good way at all, in my humble opinion.
Not requiring an answer my friend, but I think the French Foreign Legion should rent themselves out to other countries to help resolve dangerous situations and battles, like the Iraq situation. It would be a lot cheaper for everyone involved and there would be a lot more control of the soldier situation. At the moment Blackwater is full of wanker drug taking alcoholic lunatics who are out of control. Every crime they commit crimes against innocent people its overlooked for the bigger picture. Which is total BS. You need control over these shitheads. They are total rejects.
Taxpayer money going to Blackwater (a private, for-profit business receiving no-bid contracts) should be going to wages, training, and benefits for our U.S. soldiers who are accountable to U.S. military law and who pledge their allegiance to upholding the U.S. Constitution. Get taxpayer money out of Blackwater.
There is too much money being used to support these private, for-profit mercenary corporations with kick-backs to politicians to keep them in place. The extremists want a military force that is only accountable to their own interests and they don't care they are making billions of dollars in profits at tax payer expense.
They claim Blackwater is for terrorists but they also conduct domestic terrorism in America. They go after people that threaten corporate profits of Monsanto and Halliburton. Murdering for profit, not peace or patriotism.
It's moral for the Military to kill but immoral for a civilian to kill for said Military? Paid private militaries have been around for centuries including Privateers that helped stop British supply runs during the American Revolution and the Americans who went to China to fight the Japanese prior to the US becoming involved in WW2. Blackwater now is fighting against Piracy in Somalia, helping train Somalian forces and being private security for Cargo ships. Since 2011 there have been only one captured or hostaged ships.
If the government and people would focus on Erik's work ethic they could learn a lot. There were far more successful missions and humanitarian missions than any altercation. His business model "do whatever it takes to serve the customer and keep Americans alive". He's a great American
Are you serious? Have you ever heard of Wikipedia? The FBI investigation found that, of the 17 Iraqis killed by the guards, at least 14 were shot without cause.[11]
That's not true if it were the people responsible won't be charge with murder. Where they charged with murder. Did Erik prince personally tell his people to go out and kill innocent people. They are security guards in the most dangerous place in earth and none of the people that our government hired them to protect we're killed or injured. Blackwater had more than a few Americans killed and you don't care about that. Shame on you
Greg Hill Alright, if you're going to try to post a valid argument DONT CITE WIKIPEDIA. It can be changed by anyone, oh look I just put in there that Hitler screwed sheep in his free time, that must be true
360Vestige how about Rutgers? (Reuters) - The United States brought new manslaughter charges on Thursday against four former Blackwater Worldwide security guards for a 2007 shooting in Baghdad that prosecutors said killed 14 unarmed civilians. 14 unarmed civilians, what hero's they are!
Blackwater is a term dating to at least the 1970s used to describe wastewater containing fecal matter and urine. It is also known as foul water or sewage. It is distinct from greywater or sullage, the residues of washing processes. No wonder they changed the name.
+The yelly one Blackwater is a swamp/wetlands area that borders SE Virginia and NE North Carolina, where Mr. Prince established his 1st training facility. It is still used by the US Military, Law Enforcement and Civilians for training under a different name.
Dirtby mission must be done by the Blackwater and all the blames go to a private company not to the USA government. Very clever and devil politician in the USA.
My Brother killed in 2009..Worked as Contractor for Blackwater in Japan. Hoping anyone would help me get the truth.. To many questions never answered. Retired from the Navy after 23 years.. Was cremated and shipped home in a USPS box and after opening at funeral home 2 pieces of "Masking tape" box filled with Ashes that had to be cleaned up out of the box. Why??? Arent Military usually brought home draped in the USA Flag?? Pray everyday to get to the truth..
He didnt do anything. If anything was done that was wrong,and that's arguable, it was his employees. Plenty of contractors,even those working for black water, dis great things that saved a ton of lives. If the people of those countries would have done their own dirty work,and not have let it turn into a terrorists paradise Americans would have never been there.
Back in the day, there was no such thing as military contractors, except for civilian support on military installations: laundry, commissary, mess hall, and a few other occupations. Military work remained strictly military operations by military personnel. Live fire ops remained entirely active duty. Courts and hearings, allegations, and punishments remained entirely within UCMJ functions.
doesn't change the fact that the woman was a moron who walked right out in front of that truck. But that happens when you are covered head to toe in a fucking sheet.
For example, a time where using a "false flag" may truly not be dishonorable, is when a group of third-party combatants have a Nuclear Weapon, and will "blow" the weapon if they are approached by anyone, combatant or not, wearing the flag of any group, nation, or "ideal".
I respect his service to the country but.... His guys got ambushed in Fallujah in 2004. That incident kicked off the Fallujah offensive. Complacency kills....literally. Mercs don't have real Calvary at their disposal.
I guess the navy and army are also murderers that don't deserve your tax money? These are all ex military. The military also has mishaps of killing civilians
imtiyaz bangali do uk how many civilians the us military killed with bombings of civilian populations in ww2 and etc. in the Middle East us soldiers have killed civilians too but the media doesn’t like reporting on it cuz it hurts the image of the American war veteran. I’m not defending blackwater but to say that Erik supports these actions is just bs. There are criminals in every organization even the us military which is why there is a court system in the us military. Those blackwater criminals were punished so to say that those were condoned and represent black waters intention is complete bs.
Prince has a tough job and his company has done some great work. However I disagree with his comments in his book re the 4 Blackwater contractors that were murdered in Fallujah. They were not properly equipped for that mission. 4 people lost their lives escorting trucks to retrieve kitchen equipment. Never should have happened.
Do you not understand how this works? The government needs to do things in a war they started that they can’t do, so they hire mercenaries. If it were Garda that picked up the contract you’d be saying the same thing about them. They’re just doing it to get paid, they didn’t start any of it
Erik is basically the reason why Somali pirates are no longer an issue anymore. Because of his actions thousands of people where released from their captivity. What have you accomplished? Besides being a "stoner gamer" of course.
Anarchist Annie you’re saying soldiers are pussy. You do know that 99% of contractors like Blackwater are former soldiers. You are an imbecile for contradicting yourself , and not to mention a hypocrite
I feel bad for the blackwater dudes charged with Manslaughter...Blackwater literally did what troops are asked to do however, was privately contracted and likely cheaper than hiring/training troops to do the same work.
@@MrAussieJules I mean atleast he is not commiting several deadly sins on a regular basis. The fact that Erik identify himself as a christian is just ironic because he is not acting like one. And if judgement day is a real thing obviously peoples like Erik will be the first to go.

He didnt do anything. If anything was done that was wrong,and that's arguable, it was his employees. Plenty of contractors,even those working for black water, dis great things that saved a ton of lives. If the people of those countries would have done their own dirty work,and not have let it turn into a terrorists paradise Americans would have never been there.
He's Trump shadowy advisor and at the same time working for the Chinese. Nice.
stop smoking crack!!!
That footage of him chopping logs is badass
Ok little 4yr old Mickie
@@edm5929 😂 im only 4 where it counts
This guy is a great American. I love how unapologetic he is
He is just as it appears. A war profiteer. The worst kind. And he thinks he's above the law. Wrong move.
You can call them a lot of things but inefficient's not one of them.
Patriot
We have kimmy rezendes who has been accused of nothing but possibly murder of American citizens in another country on vacation
Back in the day, there was no such thing as military contractors, except for civilian support on military installations: laundry, commissary, mess hall, and a few other occupations. Military work remained strictly military operations by military personnel. Live fire ops remained entirely active duty. Courts and hearings, allegations, and punishments remained entirely within UCMJ functions.
And?
You’re sadly misinformed. Private military has been used since the revolutionary war. Lafayette for instance.
guy is shown to make wood and carrying straw bales, so he is a hard working man, a good guy :-)
Erik Prince should watch that video his men acting like thugs.
His guys murdered people and a child, and he don't feel he should be sorry.
it's like an advertisement for him. Nothing about the recorded videos of the shootings or the moment when they drove over a woman...
doesn't change the fact that the woman was a moron who walked right out in front of that truck. But that happens when you are covered head to toe in a fucking sheet.
this guy should be in jail.
We love you Eric.
This company was used then discarded just like Executive Outcomes Inc. was in Sierra Leone...
Eric prince is awesome. Wish I could of joined them. ~KEONI
Our Military would have failed miserably if it wasn't for these guys.
But it did fail, we didn't win the War in Iraq.
Alex Hann Some wars are impossible to "Win"
.
XZDrake There absolutely are. When you unnable to tell who the enemy is because they use guerrilla tactics then there is no real way to "Win".
XZDrake That seems very tyrannical. Seek help.
XZDrake You do not have to be tyrannical to fight a war.
This guy has an excuse for everything. Just another rich, entitled guy playing with toys.
War criminal.
This man is a patriot. End of story. I agree with what these guys did.
Fine
They talk to them like they are the original people
BLACKWATER
Ishizuka Hikaru Outstanding
Very glad that Black-water is making the world safer.
Eric Prince showed his true colors when he renamed his mercenaries XE . No one chooses that name who isn't in the occult . PK
What does XE mean in the occult?
I Read that it was a catholic thing, as Prince is part of a Catholic sect.
2 billion dollars in profit? You think I'd give a shit what people think? I don't think he does either.
What is you were one of the civilians killed? Is it worth his 7 billion?
For example, a time where using a "false flag" may truly not be dishonorable, is when a group of third-party combatants have a Nuclear Weapon, and will "blow" the weapon if they are approached by anyone, combatant or not, wearing the flag of any group, nation, or "ideal".
I respect his service to the country but.... His guys got ambushed in Fallujah in 2004. That incident kicked off the Fallujah offensive. Complacency kills....literally. Mercs don't have real Calvary at their disposal.
Both of these people's voices are absolutely heinous.....
God love ya Erik, I would still work for ya, you should run for Congress.
fuck you both
Tony Parrish Outstanding Troop
Tony Parrish don’t count on God’s love Erik. He doesn’t take kindly to those who break his commandments.
The telepathic order was to keep my money lower than there's
He is evil a gun for hire! Greed and Power is what his character is made of!
Jacqueline Monaco you should do your research before you run your mouth to you know what lives have been saved because of Blackwater
He is 50% patriot and 50% profiteer.
Now that guy is a real American.
I bet he pisses red white and blue
A real American assassin.
Loyal party member , his name comes up a lot in the Russian investigation. He is reportedly cooperating with Mueller
James Ricker; spot on and awesome reference to another political group that used the same loyalty to the party fascist garbage.
fuck you both !
Dudes a hero
forever angry my tax dollars payed these murderers and crooks.
I guess the navy and army are also murderers that don't deserve your tax money? These are all ex military. The military also has mishaps of killing civilians
Killed so many civilians and still no regret to this so called human rights guys
imtiyaz bangali do uk how many civilians the us military killed with bombings of civilian populations in ww2 and etc. in the Middle East us soldiers have killed civilians too but the media doesn’t like reporting on it cuz it hurts the image of the American war veteran. I’m not defending blackwater but to say that Erik supports these actions is just bs. There are criminals in every organization even the us military which is why there is a court system in the us military. Those blackwater criminals were punished so to say that those were condoned and represent black waters intention is complete bs.
I support the fuck outa these guys.
Prince has a tough job and his company has done some great work. However I disagree with his comments in his book re the 4 Blackwater contractors that were murdered in Fallujah. They were not properly equipped for that mission. 4 people lost their lives escorting trucks to retrieve kitchen equipment. Never should have happened.
They protec
They attac
But most importantly
The water is blac
What's your take on 117 Burgess ave east providence .
warmonger
Do you not understand how this works? The government needs to do things in a war they started that they can’t do, so they hire mercenaries. If it were Garda that picked up the contract you’d be saying the same thing about them. They’re just doing it to get paid, they didn’t start any of it
Erik is basically the reason why Somali pirates are no longer an issue anymore. Because of his actions thousands of people where released from their captivity. What have you accomplished? Besides being a "stoner gamer" of course.
STRONG GUY, VERY RESTEPA!
Fighting war should be sole domain of soldiers not contractors .
THEY DON'T FIGHT WARS THEY GUARD PEOPLE AND PROPERTY
Anarchist Annie you’re saying soldiers are pussy. You do know that 99% of contractors like Blackwater are former soldiers. You are an imbecile for contradicting yourself , and not to mention a hypocrite
They are soldiers
Respect erik prince and blackwater
“entirely possible” ;)
To hell with mercenary murderers!
His bloody criminal organization changed the name.
Rumor is the are also in charge of security at several. Gov facilities not sure that's true tho
What a legend
lmfao
Yeah. He's evil.
His sister Betsy Devoz does not need to be in her position in the government. I guess money buys anything.
I'm more interested in the logging and cutting the guy does in the video. Nice skills!!
yo respect to these people screw anyone who says these guys r bad
D3V without any need? They’re getting paid a LOT to do it. They’re hired killers.
@D3V protecting our country? I see no invasion here. Moron
your mother is good in bad
I feel bad for the blackwater dudes charged with Manslaughter...Blackwater literally did what troops are asked to do however, was privately contracted and likely cheaper than hiring/training troops to do the same work.
IF IT WASN'T FOR BLACK WATER MANY LIFES WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST..THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU RUN YOUR TRAP
lives*
They used him effectively then dumped him when convenient
I would have loved to work as a cook or whatever capacity I could so much respect for these guys thank you.
That was my investment GPS panic buttons and home panic buttons . They tried to bankrupt my ass
hero!
The rezendes family seems not to want to address the issue
My condolences to Eric Prince.
We'll see if he gets away with his money in the day of judgment. for all the innocent blood in his hands.
i wonder if you will out clean with your cowardly pacifism on that day. lol
@@MrAussieJules I mean atleast he is not commiting several deadly sins on a regular basis. The fact that Erik identify himself as a christian is just ironic because he is not acting like one. And if judgement day is a real thing obviously peoples like Erik will be the first to go.
My former boss - great guy - great patriot!
Very efficient soulless murder too I hear...you must be proud
Peace through war!
...from someone who has never sacrificed nor risked his life for his fellow man...love this libs fresh out of college with no real world experience...have fun hanging out in your mom's basement!
Our species is going to need to evolve if we wish to last another 100 years. There is a mass awakening going on all over the planet that brain dead fools like you have no visibility to as you are WAY to unconscious.
Do you really believe that this murderer was doing something for his "fellow man"? How naïve. His murder for hire gang made him a millionaire many times over.
Your language gives you away . "libs" how juvenile, you really bought into the whole Liberal/Conservative paradigm didn't you?
You sir are a complete FOOL.
JoH W If I ever run into you...the first round is on me!
This feels like watching one of hitlers generals give an interview from his mansion 😂
nah Hitlers Generals would be Socialists minus the rainbows demanding healthcare for all citizens, no cappitalism and Germany or whatever country they are from first.
Mistakes we're made, but it's Fucking war! Much respect to Prince and Blackwater. However, I feel for the family's of that attack. Shit happens in war.
+Thurman Ulrich I've heard alot of things. But, cowardly is a stretch. I don't know about his penis. But, if you think it's too small, so be it. Everyone has their size preference. ;)
fuck you ,piece of shit
Mad Minute Major General Butler one of the most high ranking most declarative General rote the book wars are a racket for bankers and capitalism. Terry patch the last surviving soldier of ww1 war is nothing more than legalized mass murder and nothing more.
NumB sKuLL what the fuck does that mean? Just because it's war that does not mean you can go around killing random civilians. Then just brush it with "shit happens during war". Then you muricans go round accusing other countries of war crimes. Youre a bunch hypocrites.
+Chitty Bang Bang - WRONG!! It's the left wing libtards that are the pieces of shit!! Get your shit straight! Fuck Erik Prince and Blackwater!
He and his sister are spoiled, warped, creepy, demons.
Omg i have listened now they are coming to Afghanistan(graveyard of empires) 😂
Let them lol there’s gonna be white man blood on every street corner 🇦🇫🦁🇦🇫
