Blackwater Founder Erick Prince says it takes "a few months" to end the Afghan war using his plan.

I always forget we have you on the forum to sprinkle glitter on a metaphoric turd to beautify it.

You do not understand the role of private contractors in modern warfare. This is why I chose to enlighten you.

I am not a fan of Blackwater or similar services. In-fact, I find this stuff unsettling to begin with. However, better to understand what roles these organizations play in overseas expeditions, and modern warfare in general. My take is that these organizations operate under relaxed rules of engagement and are suitable for performing shadowy activities without political interference - a component of hybrid warfare strategy.

Russia have also made extensive use of private contractors in Syria to do its bidding much like US in Iraq - in case you didn't knew.

Blackwater not coming to Afghanistan until Pentagon approve, which may not happen because Afghan Taliban will object. Pakistan might also object to this move.

I wish our leadership had the same balls the Russians, Israelis and Americans have. Even the Iranians to be fair. What I'd give to have General Zia and Hamid Gul back. They were men of action.

These Blackwater types will reak havoc in our region. We should act decisively and use the Taliban to take Kabul.

Action but correct action. Zia basically giving open access to people from an anti-Pakistan state. This misguided action is still having repercussions....but yes men of action....
