I'm talking about the grunts who sign up and get owned by the state, which is clearly inefficient. Be far better to have some kind of subscription model with multiple armies offering different levels of protection from various threats /s

Edit: Even relying on private providers is a dodgy idea. See e.g. the Great Shell Scandal https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_Crisis_of_1915
