God no.
If there's one thing that should be as unprivatized as humanly possible, it's the military.
A military that is FOR PROFIT?!
The very notion gives me chills.
I suppose it's nice if you like violence for the sake of money and power.

Privatized protection agencies are fancied by the largest segment of defunct theorists: anarcho-capitalists.

In reality anarcho-capitalism is an impossibility. Other than will and proper knowledge of projectile weaponry nothing would prevent me from creating my own task unit and deciding the property rights from there on out.

Anyone serious in anarchist theory should direct themselves to the socialist branch.

BLACKWATER is no different than the SS. They take orders directly from Bush and do not care one bit about the constituion. Half of them are from other countries and have taken part in a revolution or revolt. they are hardened military vets and simply want to get paid for killing.
