-
that patriotism should be the primary motivation for military service not money?
-
Does that argue in favor of the paid military that we have
-
or does it argue for conscription?
-
And just to sharpen that point building on Phil's case for outsourcing,
-
if you think that the all volunteer army, the paid army, is best
-
because it lets the market allocate positions according to
-
people's preferences and willingness to serve for a certain wage,
-
doesn't the logic that takes you from a system of conscription
-
to the hybrid Civil War system to the all volunteer army,
-
doesn't the idea of expanding freedom of choice in the market,
-
doesn't that lead you all the way
-
if you followed that principle consistently to a mercenary army?
