Alright now I'm a little confused.

You gave an emphatic yes to the concept of "private armies that protect only the guys who write the paycheques and buy the hardware" but when you agree you say "under this `system` you, as a free individual, can write cheques to a defense agency (ie military) that will protect everyone, not just those directly funding it (kind of like military charity).

So the private armies should serve only those that pay the bills but also protect everyone? I don't get it.

I'd love to elaborate but I'm baking a cake, and I'd like to eat it too.
I said `Perfect military is military that protects people who are directly financing it, while honoring the principle of nonagression, ie acting only under attack or a threat of an attack.`

I didn`t say `only.`

You can pay a private defense that agrees to protect people who for example cannot affort to contribute financially themselves. Such `extra service for poor` may be a point of differentiaton between various defense agencies offering service that can appeal to socially conscious people.
