In 2007, Blackwater killed 17 Iraqi civilians including a nine-year-old boy. This would be known as the Nisour Square massacre. Blackwater claims that they acted in self-defense but the first soldiers to respond to scene found no evidence of enemy activity. The shootings were reported as criminal activity on behalf of Blackwater. Erik Prince considers himself a Christian Crusader tasked at destroying Islamic life. Now he's pushing Trump to privatize the war in Afghanistan.
