I can't imagine anything worse than the US govt basically having an army of terminators.
I believe he meant the average person, rather than the military. But yes, if you thought the drones were bad, "terminators" would be even worse.
You ignored the important question.
Do you know the difference between a natural monopoly and an enforced one?
Yes, I do.
Do you understand that a natural monopoly is
not enforced?
You still haven't explained why you think a private military would somehow magically avoid profitable endeavours. They are Capitalists. I thought you loved Capitalism and all that it entails. If turning their back on their 'customers' and looting some foreign land is more profitable than keeping their corporate logo squeaky clean, then they will do it.
I've explained to you that it would
not be more profitable. They would expend materiel and manpower, lose customers, and piss off
every other organization extant, in other words, they would become a criminal organization, forced to take those risky operations in order to continue. They would be effectively declaring war against everyone else. Historically, organizations that have done that have not fared well.
