you might as well say the Viet Cong and NVA were private armies that sent the US empire packing
Sorry, but not even close freehills. And if you consider the NVA a private army you are only proving my point.
Still waiting for your example of a private army not working too well. Or even for a government agency that works, which was my original challenge.
The reason you can’t provide examples is because there are none. Government is run by people that earn a living ensuring its existence. Guess what comes first, providing a service, or guaranteeing they have a job? Maybe some started with honest intentions, but they eventually end up in the same place when they remove the power from the people.
