Will someone explain to me how you are going to privatize the military?
You will still have to pay for it through taxes, Right?
The difference will be that now the military will have to show a profit, and the best way to do that would be to outsource it a country like China. Yeah, the US would be much safer with a couple of million Chinese troops here to protect us, and to help collect the taxes to pay them for this service.
