        Ah yes. Can't profit without death. Healthcare, pollution and most definitely, war.

        Don't forget prison for profit. Not quite death but somehow, the institution of slavery lite must continue.

        Don't call this "bold." That only serves to legitimize it. This idea is disgusting, and no one with conscience should support it in any way.

        And you think Erik Prince's plan isn't going to cost taxpayers more? Erik's plan isn't to do this out of the "goodness of his heart".
