 Foreign Policy In Focus Policy Brief Privatizing Military Training
Military training is said to further U.S. contact with other countries, to aid in the spread of democracy and good civil-military relations, and to enhance specific U.S. strategic concerns.
In the absence of Western governments’ willingness to provide training services via their own militaries, PMCs offer an alternative to traditional mercenaries, and they are more likely to provide advice on norms of good civil-military relations and professional military behavior in addition to training in military operations.
The downside of this approach, however, could be a public increasingly disengaged from global problems; a military ever more focused on combat operations rather than military training, assistance, and other engagement activities; and significant reliance on private firms for a pivotal role in U.S. foreign policy.

 Brazil - BRAZZIL - Up and Down at Brazilian War Factories - Brazilian Military - February 1998
The strongly transnationalized character of most Third World military industries means that their growth is at least partly an extension of evolutionary trends in the global arms economy, and that this will be the case as long as Third World arms producers remain dependent on external sources for technology, investment, and markets.
The military, and the army in particular, would be among the principal actors thus "inflated." In addition to being the power that guaranteed the continuation of the Estado Novo, the military took on a new and important role in the planning commissions, bureaucracies, and other organs of the state emerging during this period.
Military industrialization demands stable institutions—routinized sets of rules, roles, procedures, and practices—because, even on the lesser scale seen in most Third World countries, the defense sector brings together a heterogeneous array of manufacturing and supply firms, civilian and military bureaucratic organizations, research institutes, and other groups.

 Al-Muhajabah's Islamic Blogs: How the War Machine is Driving the US Economy
The military was a much more desirable investment from their point of view, although justifying such a diversion of public funds required a certain degree of political repression, best achieved through appeals to patriotism and fear-mongering about an enemy threat - and, inexorably, an actual war.
Military-fueled growth, or military Keynesianism as it is now known in academic circles, was first theorized by the Polish economist Michal Kalecki in 1943.
Military expenditure is usually the least effective of short-run ways of spending money, because it doesn't build infrastructure that give you returns over time.

Infrastructure and military spending are not the only examples of the process by which cost and risk are socialized, and profit is privatized--or, as Rothbard put it, by which " our corporate state uses the coercive taxing power either to accumulate corporate capital or to lower corporate costs."
