Yeah there are very good reasons why it's a stupid idea. It's equally stupid to privatize areas of strategic economic importance, such as energy, transport, core infrastructure etc. Which happens all the time. Arguably the army is the most important service for a state. If the private sector was innately more efficient you'd have thought the neolibs would be queueing up to flog it off.
