But a cell tower is not a priority asset, so they hire Blackwater. Do you and the libertarians believe Vodafone should be allowed to do this? Is my question.

This is btw, fairly common practice over there. I am by no means exaggerating the situation.

I don't believe the libertarians would have any issues with a private entity hiring a private security firm for conducting private business that is in no way related to the government or military of the U.S. outside of the U.S..

This is a different issue from deploying private firms to support military campaigns and having them hire mercenaries to protect assests necessary to support a war effort even if low priority.
