That's actually a fairly tame description of Mr Prince, compared to some I've read. What part do you feel to be inaccurate?
For an insight into his current thinking on business opportunities, have a read of this re: how to engage ISIL.

If the old Blackwater team were still together, I have high confidence that a multi-brigade-size unit of veteran American contractors or a multi-national force could be rapidly assembled and deployed to be that necessary ground combat team.
Not a lot of regret expressed there.
Praetorian Guard is a reasonably accurate description for his former organisation's activities; administration, special forces and covert intel ops directed from a higher level than the bread-and-butter army.
- wicker 12y agoNot only not a lot of regret, but it really is a chilling comment for its implications. A single brigade-sized unit is something like 4,000 soldiers. So coming up with a multi-brigade-size unit could be twenty thousand veteran American contractors with, like you said, administration, special forces, covert intel ops, and all with recent combat experience. The brazenness of Blackwater/Academi has always amazed me.
