So we get hot FROG units to fight wars now? Maybe in another 10 to 15 years. I say the Kojima shit jokingly but I've seriously been hearing about Erik Prince pushing this for Afghanistan for years and I think he's got Trumps ear even before being Devos brother. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

PMCs wont be cheaper than using our own military? the army pays low salaries and isn't a for-profit model with executives, etc taking giant salaries. how would a PMC possibly compete with the non-profit US military? --- Playing: Octopath Traveler, Soul Calibur VI, Smash Ultimate, Dead Cells (~);} - I suppose it will all make sense when we grow up - {;(~) ...

iWillBeHOTHkage posted...PMCs wont be cheaper than using our own military? But not caring about long term mission and only the immediate pay check. If you compartmentalize the objectives enough they can claim success at a lower cost though often at long term costs that are difficult to quantify. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

The argument iirc is pmcs dont waste as much on equipment or something
I'd look up the more nuanced explanation but I'm on my phone at dialysis. There's YouTube videos if you're willing to hear Erik Prince go on for a half hour or so --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Giant_Aspirin posted...also I don't think they ever truly stopped. It's just this iteration of Blackwater isn't "truly" associated with Erik Prince. He's currently on a Colonialist crusade for China in Africa. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

AlecSkorpio posted...Giant_Aspirin posted...also The company changed names like 2 times. Last I recall they were going by Academi The company hasn't been associated with Prince for like 8 years I think but he still pushes contractors after a bunch he put together after selling Blackwater took down most of the Somali pirates --- ...

Good thing Kojima didn't have anything to do with survive. Otherwise we'd all die out to crystal dustmonster things.
