The Atlas Society Asks Erik Prince

The Atlas Society CEO Jennifer Grossman talks to former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince about his book "Civilian Warriors: The Inside Story of Blackwater and the Unsung Heroes of the War on Terror" to learn the true history of Blackwater and the exasperating and tragic story of "men taking bullets to protect the men who take all the credit." Listen as they discuss Erik's early life and how people like Hayek, Mises, and Rand helped to shape his worldview and become the successful businessman he is today. All this and more on the 82nd episode of The Atlas Society Asks.

Erik is a loyal patriotic American 🇺🇸 that I respect, admire and will always support ✌️😎🇺🇸 BTW - just ordered Shield of Achilles

What about his business in china?

[@johnrevolinski7695]

I believe that if Eric Prince was in charge of the state department and military we would have no wars lasting more than 2 weeks. Eric is a great businessman and patriot who provided brains and planning to a military private business called Blackwater and showed our government how things should be done; the government reacted (typically) by making his business survival impossible. All hail Eric Prince, a great American.👍👏🇺🇸🇺🇸

KZbin took too long to add my comment, hence the second and third comment. JR

Excellent History Lesson from EP! Academia is drastically lacking.

[@fionagallagher984]

Anyone know what Russel Crowe movie he’s referring to?

[@AlejandroRasmussen7]

Proof of life, but the contractor portrayed by Russell Crowe is actually the hero. Could be another one too

[@AlejandroRasmussen7]

Its State of play (2009)

[@kaisersoza7937]

An amazing American patriot. Thank you.

[@donquihote6023]

A great deal of things are screwed up by people from Academia!

[@johnrevolinski7695]

All hail Eric Prince, a great patriot, a great American, a great businessman. He and Blackwater should have been put in charge of the state department.

In principle I’m opposed to war in Iraq/Afghanistan as what moral right does the American Empire have to tell others how to live. However, if you were to fight there, Prince’s idea is best as proven.
