strategy for america's longest war and has shown a renewed interest in a proposal by erik prince to prife that war. prince, whose sister is betsy devos, is founder of blackwater, a security contractors farm who had controversial moments in the war in iraq including the killing of civilians in baghdad in 2007. his plan is to replace troops for a contractor who would work for a special envoy reporting directly to president trump. >> my plan would say 2,000 u.s. special forces remain and around 6,000 contractors. it is not a privatization or private army. it is a clear delineation of who is in charge, okay, the afghan government working for a u.s. government official funded by the united states at a fraction of the cost of what we are spending now. >> what would it cost? >> if we leave it to the pentagon we will be at war forever. >> would you consider privatizing there, using contractors instead of u.s. military? there have been reports about that this week? >> there are always a lot of discussions. i find it helpful. i am always open to new ideas but i'm not going to comment on what the t
