• Blackwater founder Erik Prince feels he was thrown “under the bus” after serving country

“I put myself and my company at the CIA’s disposal for some very risky missions,” Prince told Vanity Fair for its January issue. “But when it became politically expedient to do so, someone threw me under the bus.”

Listen, jackass. That’s why we hire mercenaries. You’re deniable and you’re expendable, and you’re paid well for it. You’ve made a nice chunk of change doing the dirty work we all wanted to pretend wasn’t happening, while furthering the unaccountability of our supposedly democratic government. When you’re no longer useful, at least show some dignity instead of whining like a rich kid with a sense of entitlement.

Go count your blood money and shut up.
