That's funny, I recall a few years ago,
Well, what is "private protection service"? Basically merc.

A policy for what is done as a matter of domestic policy and what is done in foreign policy are two very different things in libertarian circles. The applauding of private protections services for law enforcement is a naive supposition that private police forces would operate outside of political entanglement and have something to lose by facing actions non-private police forces really can't be confronted with by an unhappy populace and community crime control groups would simply be interested in straightforward protection of the population.

from the statement you linked:

"Any U.S. military policy should have the objective of providing security for the lives, liberty and property of the American people in the U.S. against the risk of attack by a foreign power. This objective should be achieved as inexpensively as possible and without undermining the liberties it is designed to protect. "

later on

"We call for the withdrawal of the U.S. from commitments to engage in war on behalf of other governments and for abandonment of doctrines supporting military intervention such as the Monroe Doctrine."

I don't believe use of mercenaries would be in line with these points.
