The Lt Col is genuine. His honesty, integrity, courage has attracted the attention of those looking for such genuine honesty. They have the means to bring him into their camps and place him appropriately.

Another courageous soul is Law Professor David Clements, a former 16 year prosecutor of Mexican narco-terrorist cartels, and devoted to Christ Jesus. He refused to take ‘the Jab’ mandated by the Law School knowing it would lead to his being fired. He has a wonderful supportive wife and they have two young children. They decided to trust God completely and risk losing everything.

Because of their courage, they were interviewed by a wealthy Christian woman in Chicago and we believe they will be fine.

Those that struggle to hold onto their life will lose it, while those that give up their life to the Lord Jesus will save it.

He has bad judgment.

Not really, college educated people with his qualifications quit their jobs and move on to better ones all the time.

He'll hook up with an executive recruiter who will connect him with an employer in no time.......

Sure hope so. But, we should be surprised by what happened. As I recall, the fat useless toad, aka Gen Milley, stated a few months back that the biggest threat to the US is white supremist militias. He and others have been quietly purging conservative officers for a good while.

You’re taking unfounded piss shots at E Prince who has acted heroically under fire to rescue those facing certain death.

WH Jan Pukesi, Mediate, and all the odorous Marxist Propaganda Media are blowing gas out their anus about E Prince and the $6500 and you are carrying their pisswater for them without explaining the facts.

Prince addressed the $6500. It was the cost of the private charter passenger jet without insurance. No passenger plane can get insurance into and out of Kabul. E Prince is NOT profiteering from it although the Marxist press are lying that he’s a war profiteer and you are falling in behind their BS.

Prince has a lot of $$$’d connections but the fastest deal he could put together was to offer to provide pilots risking their lives flying a private charter costing $6500 a head.

“At an estimate of 10,000 evacuees, the private charter wants upwards of $65,000,000. Prince has access to money but not that amount on emergency short notice.

Your smelly leftust buddies throwing crap at Prince could have easily pleaded with their fellow demented WH connections to spend the $65 million for the charter but no, they have to heckle those trying to put together a rescue while they don’t lift a finger to stop the death sentence to the 10,000 souls their side abandoned in Afghanistan”

100% Agreed.

Care to share with us the costs of flying a commercial jet into Afghanistan, fully staffed with pilots and armed security, arrange to load said plane with whomever you can get onboard and then fly it out? How much would you think the insurance is just to operate a flight in Afghan airspace?

Could you coordinate and finance that but only charge $299 roundtrip just like Southwest does from Baltimore to Orlando? Please enlighten us all...

He will not be court-martialed. They won’t get a conviction and the cabal will want this one to go away quickly and silently. His career is over at 17.

But I see a bright career in him. Some CEO will pick him up.

Colonel, please run for Congress. We need leadership and Men, who put those in uniform above political correctness and nodding heads.

One was protected for speaking out against his chain of command — the other, fired within a day.

Prince’s Communist Chinese friends for whom his Frontier Services Group worked unwilling to help? I never lined my pockets working for the Communist Chinese Government like Erik Prince.

A conviction would be a slam dunk...he’s on video. The officers sitting on the board would ensure conviction. A court martial isn’t really a trial as we think of it. The board knows the person is guilty or he wouldn’t be in front of them. They’re just there to make it look like a trial. Their real purpose is to discuss what the penalty will be.

He is on video not disrespecting but calling on accountability.

I was acquitted at a court-martial, so what you say is untrue, particularly when everyone is thinking the same thing.
