#2 Contractor goldmine.

Ya know, a private military company with sufficient means to do air, artillery and helibourne assault could make a pretty good living calming the world's trouble spots. Places like Iraq and Nigeria that are long on oil money and short on capability/will. The British East India Company, but with more air power.

#4 1. You don't want a 'private' military that's more efficient and capable than yours hanging around. See - Janissaries.

2. You don't want real results when your real game is all about 'show' not results. The pros don't like that. See - 1

3. "Where's the graft in that?" when you can milk it from other concerned players?

#5 Steve S might be channeling Steve Pressfield, a proud member of the Army of Steve.
