Who is
Reflex Responses Management Consultancy LLC? Only "the Premier Security Consultant and Training supplier for the United Arab Emirates," of course. Frequently referred to as R2, the company specializes in nuclear facility security, special-forces operations, revolt quelling, cybersecurity, and (somehow) protecting the U.A.E from Iran with one battalion of foreign mercenaries. Oh, and it's
led by Erik Prince, formerly of Blackwater (now Xe).

Blackwater (now known as
Xe) has had a rough few years. The company, and its
former CEO Erik Prince, have been the subject of allegations including
murder,
arms smuggling,
child prostitution and
wholesale massacre.
Erik Prince has told
Vanity Fair that he was a CIA operative and that someone has turned against him and
"thrown him under a bus" by leaking his CIA associations to the public. He even compared his public outing to that of
Valerie Plame.
Mr. Prince has also been an outspoken and generous contributor to
mostly-Republican political candidates.
