  1. Neoliberal militaries are already quite mercenary though they are much less effective than an explicit mercenary force.

  2. Territorial nation States do not deserve to be defended. Only the freely formed network societies, communities etc. of volunteers deserve to be defended. These are also essential parts of any quite rightful war and peace aims and would greatly help in any quite rightful defence, revolution, peace promotion and liberation efforts. Moreover, they would greatly help in enlightening us on all social science matters and make most of us rather prosperous, peaceful and tolerant. We would no longer be threatened, suppressed or exploited as we are by territorial States. – John Zube, john.zube@bigpond.com
