Want to buy your own Private Army?

We are not kidding as XE Services, formerly known as Blackwater, is up for sale. While no price was mentioned for interested buyers, you get highly trained PMCs (unless you prefer them Mercs), lucrative government contracts, and perhaps a bunch of lawsuits for their activities in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the US. At present they lost to a rival to be hired by BP to keep sunbathers away from the oily beaches on the Gulf of Mexico.

Why is it up for sale given the multi-million government contracts and top-secret access to some of the most sensitive operations being conducted by the US Military? It is just too controversial, as the company executives have been indicted by a federal grand jury last April for obstruction of justice and illegal procurement of weapons. Apart from that, Erik Prince, the owner, is a controversial figure himself, who have been document in videos, that his company's activities is also to be used in Christianist activities in the occupied countries in the US War on Terror.



Moreso, Erik Prince is rumoured to be moving to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where there's a military hub for more business, and escape prosecution in the US as there is no extradition treaty with the US. It all depends if the UAE sheiks would be happy to be doing business with him.

So, if you're awash in cash, and want to buy XE/Blackwater, then you can discreetly make an offer. The question is how these PMCs would feel being used as marshals in airsoft games. :)
