(Before It's News)

Way back when people were at one with all the other animals on this planet who killed only for food, ‘war’ was more of a game

A North American Plains Indian warrior won prestige by acts of bravery ilike any blow struck counted as a coup, the most prestigious acts were touching an enemy with the hand, bow, or with a coup stick then escaping unharmed..Risk of injury or death was required to count coup and escaping unharmed while counting coup was considered a higher honor than being wounded in the attempt.

   Getting killed was not very cool at all.

Historically generals were very distant from their ‘troops’ and considered them peasants, indentured servants or ‘Undermeschen’. From the Civil War onwards, however, they began to understand their troops’ fear of death and the hard grip of the injunction, ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill” when they discovered only 15% were actually shooting to kill.

Later on in the Viet Nam it was found that it took 100 000 bullets to ‘gun down’ one Viet Cong, about $2.5bn a year or between five and ten thousand dollars each.

Who profited just from making bullets?

Eric Prince’s company trained killers for money and was used in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina to suppress a possible rebellion after the U.S. government failed to respond quickly to the disaster.

His company secretly armed and maintained drones in Pakistan, trained CIA hit teams, and collected $2 billion as a government security contractor – all for the money.

 Prince says he looks back on that adventure as “13 lost years.” The billions of dollars are gone now, and he blames the U.S. government.

After a series of federal investigations, government contract battles and critical congressional hearings, Mr. Prince sold Blackwater in 2010. Following continued controversy over his most recent pursuits while based in Abu Dhabi, Mr. Prince has returned to Virginia to write a new chapter of his life—as an entrepreneur buying oil, land and minerals in Africa.
