Great interview and insight from EP. Highly enjoy your interviews. PBD, EPs commentary was great, the fact that he mentioned we do nut down our spending is on point. You need to get Victor Hansen Davis on your pod.
One of the best people to interview ,very interesting insight
Great podcast 💪
Great success story!
Point is theirs no justification for what happened. They had no business being there.

It's horrible what they did to their guys to make money. One of my best friends served for years when it was Blackwater. At least half of the group he served with self- deleted after they returned home. A damn shame how they were used up for profit and war mongering.

In 2007, Constellis (then Blackwater) received widespread notoriety for the Nisour Square massacre in Baghdad, when a group of its employees killed 17 Iraqi civilians and injured 20. Four employees were convicted in the United States and later pardoned on December 22, 2020, by President Donald Trump. David, you should’ve brought that up and asked serious questions to Erik, as to WHY NO justice was served for the numerous deaths of innocent Iraqis!!!!

Blackwater was founded Dec. 26, 1996. 8 yrs. later on Dec. 26 the deadliest tsunami in history killed well over 200,000 people. La Palma Island, the one with the volcanic ridge that is supposed to collapse and kill everyone on the Eastern U.S. coast has black sand beaches. You do the math. 3.11.11 - wonder where Blackwater was that day?
