this is a naive viewpoint. It would be nice if all govt activities were beneficial, but they're not.

Also, commercial enterprises can do very large scale tasks such as build dams, road systems, and the like. It's not much good at doing military defense, but for making stuff....

If I started a country, I'd keep defense lightweight by training people in small arms and getting a contract in place with Blackwater. Private warfighting and defense are already viable and popular.
