People who value security voluntarily pay for it. The model works in a bunch of other markets and the military system already is voluntary regarding recruitment, so we have good reason to believe it would work. I estimate that if people were left to their own devices about what to pay for, security forces might even get MORE funding than they currently do. Lots of people really value that stuff but don't currently voluntarily pay for much of it since the tax-based monopoly of government crowds it out.
