No I did, but I still don't trust people worth a damn. It's a little to libertarian for my blood. I am not worried about the army shooting it's own citizens i am worried about what happens when there is conflicting interests and our nation ends up on the loosing side. With you private defense companies, what happens in a war. All the enemy would have to do is offer a bigger contract and look, no army to defend the nation. What would keep these private defense companies from doing this considering it is perfectly legal to accept a better contract. If you say it violates a special law, or violates a special contract, what does the government have to enforce this? They would still need an army to enforce the rule on their own private defense companies. Or another scenario what happens when someone (who is rich enough) decides to pay some of these companies better? Now we have to groups, one group of defense companies loyal to rich guy and another group loyal to the government. Civil Wars have been started that way. That is what I mean when I say there is no loyalty. The way the system is now the army is loyal to the national defense and is only concerned with the defense of the nation.
