The man with the guns makes the rules, so does the man who can buy the best guns and the most soldiers.
The American founding fathers had warned at Length about the dangers posed to liberty and the free state posed the use of foreign mercenaries, especially when they have no stake in civil society or any ties to the country.
There is no alternative except to have a national army as your primary means of defence, that requires the levying of taxes to fund, Some libertarian anarchists believe some how you will have enough volunteers willing to donate money to pay the tab, even if that were hypothetically true, you'd still have no deterrent to dissuade hired guns from going rogue and turning against you. You also cannot expect there to always be enough suckers around willing to train, prepare and spend their own money and potentially risk their own lives fighting as militiamen,purely on a voluntary basis.
The Bush regime had no business hiring mercenaries like Blackwater,but they did rectify that error by bringing them to justice for their crimes, somthing that wouldn't happen in a impotent minarchy.
As for the roads, you do realize you won't have free commerce if companies can buy up roads and deny access to competitors or charging the equalivant of trade tariffs for their use. you'll be paying far more in tolls then you otherwise would in taxes, that would kill the trucking industry, you would also be allowing societies freedom of travel to be impeded and restricted by commodifying it.
Your system would be even more rigged in favour of predatory Monopolists then it already is.
