Erik Prince surfaces from this hide-away in Dubai to argue that operating a mercenary army is an act of patriotism.
For my part, I think he just enjoys making things go ka-boom.

In the latest migration to a new virtual private server, some of the links to images in the earliest posts to this blog were broken. If you encounter one of these broken links, please let me know. I have backups and can restore the images.
There’s only one person who agrees with me on everything, and, as I’m not running for office, that person is not on the ballot.

This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

Ah, the poor war capitalist. Blackwater also triggered the battle of Fallujah when four of its contractors went into the city poorly equipped, were hung from a bridge, triggering an unsuccessful initial Marine Corps assault on the town. Great stuff, probably won’t be a bestseller, might make a tv movie for one of the manly cable channels. Blackwater also became an arms manufacturer.
