So tell me what type of company you think Academi is?
If you said school stuff - you would be wrong.
It is Prince's new Blackwater, Xe - my brother brought this to my attention.
Scummy bastard Prince is now:
Academi—previously known as Xe Services LLC, Blackwater USA and Blackwater Worldwide—is a private military company founded in 1997 by Erik Prince and Al Clark.[3][4] Academi is currently the largest of the U.S. State Department's three private security contractors. Academi provided diplomatic security services in Iraq to the United States federal government on a contractual basis.[1] Academi also has a research and development wing that was responsible for developing the Grizzly APC along with other military technology. The company's headquarters is in Arlington County, Virginia.[5][6]

I guess you have to keep changing your name when the whole world hates you - and so why not go for a name that brings to mind innocent children sitting in classrooms with caring teachers.
