  Defense Services on the Free Market
A supply of defense services on the free market would mean maintaining the axiom of the free society, namely, that there be no use of physical force except in defense against those using force to invade person or property.
Thus, defense firms would have to be as freely competitive and as noncoercive against noninvaders as are all other suppliers of goods and services on the free market.
A similar doctrine holds that defense must be supplied by the State because of the unique status of defense as a necessary precondition of market activity, as a function without which a market economy could not exist.

 Medical Necessity Defense - NORML
Regardless of its origin, the basis of the necessity defense is that society is sometimes willing to excuse or even justify conduct that would otherwise be illegal if that conduct was done to avoid an even worse or greater evil.
This defense theory reflects society's understanding that external forces beyond a person's control sometimes place that person in an emergency situation where he or she must choose between the harm or "evil" of breaking the criminal code or complying with the code and allowing an even greater harm or "evil" to occur.
The court noted that a necessity defense is generally available only when the physical forces of nature cause the accused to take unlawful action to avoid harm which social policy deems greater than that which results from a violation of the law.

 Statement by the Cuban organizations participating at the meeting on Civil Society in Defense of Sovereignty and Human ...
The true Cuban civil society is not mercenary nor is in the pay of foreign powers to act against the homeland's interests; has it not been manufactured nor imported to be the accomplice of those who attack their people.
In the defense, preservation and development of our indisputable social achievements, the value of national unity has been sacred and vital; we strongly and firmly oppose anything that diminishes, denies or weakens it.
We urge the civil society from around the world and the international public to repudiate such inadmissible acts of aggression against the independence of the country.

 Chapter 1—Defense Services on the Free Market
     A similar doctrine holds that defense must be supplied by the State because of the unique status of defense as a necessary precondition of market activity, as a function without which a market economy could not exist.
Indeed, in the basic legal code of the free society, there probably would be enshrined some such clause as that the decision of any two courts will be considered binding, i.e., will be the point at which the court will be able to take action against the party adjudged guilty.
The checks and balances in the stateless society consist precisely in the free market, i.e., the existence of freely competitive police and judicial agencies that could quickly be mobilized to put down any outlaw agency.

 COUNTERPOINT: Defense of Marriage and Society? What About Defense of Fairness and Equity? - By Dan Brown
Or is "defense of marriage" just one more way for the always-present bigots to act out their base desires to victimize their chosen targets, as were the laws against interracial marriage, only struck down by the Supreme Court 40 years ago?
So the "traditions of marriage" are traditions only in the most recent and local of senses when compared to the long run of human experience.
Still, many argue marriage and the family it creates is the core stability of our society.

The Volunteer Defense Corps came under direct control of the Army and was organized into Guerilla Warfare Units.
The Corps was also responsible for patrolling the Western Australian coastline in co-operation with the Citizen Force Units with detachments being posted to Broome, Derby and Wyndham in the north west of the state.
Though not certain, I believe that the Defense Corps was somewhere in between para-military, non-governmental, defense forces like the Legion of Frontiersmen and those units such as the Canadian force of World War I veterans who took over many military functions within Canada during World War II.
