That's one. What if we had dozens, or hundreds, of them? How would you oversee them so that they all fight for the common cause of national defense and not as mercenaries (possibly against one another)? How would you coordinate them? How would you ensure that all meet certain standards?

Companies today have a lot of leeway in how they operate. Would you want private companies having leeway to interpret law according to their own desires? Our justice system is self-regulating, in theory if not always in practice. To whom would these companies be accountable? How would you prevent corruption? Stuff like the kids for cash scandal in my hometown?
I'm not just being contentious, these are all things I'm honestly curious about.
