Journal DaedalusHKX's Journal: Is it time for government to retire from the defense arena? 1

Here's one with a refreshing take on how the market could handle many things that governments do not handle effectively or efficiently at all, either in the West, or in the East or anywhere else in this day and age.

Since the options ahead of us are the furthering of tyranny either into a Borg like society where all are monitored by a central computer entity or cluster that makes all decisions for the drones, or the continuation and possible merging of today's milquetoast tyrannies of the west and outright iron fist tyrannies of the east, perhaps it is time to inject a concept that has fueled the black markets for centuries as the only true alternatives to working to pay the king's ransom each time the king's men demand it.

Article from Ludwig VonMises Institute on private defense handled by a true free market, such as rarely surfaces even in modern America.

For further reading I recommend this article also on the same site.

Disclaimer: I have no ties to any defense contractors, or private government contractors, I run my own business in the eastern USA contracting in small shop info tech and construction and personally choose my clients. However, I stand by my principles and take no government money or handouts and do no government work whatsoever by choice.
