I know you say that your philosophy wouldn't work in the real world, but I have to ask, hypothetically speaking, how would one go about not taking advantage of the right of having a military when the military functions at the behest of the government, not individuals? On the flip side of that, how would you be able to fund a military if you have a lot of people who don't want to pay for it?
