We would have better defense if it were privatized. Besides, in a world without government, war wouldn't be profitable. Protection would.

A private military who would be hired out to the highest bidder? I honestly think that would be the worst thing for society... if you want protection, hire a body guard or two. Putting that much power into public hands would be dangerous, and a massive threat to the state.
No matter which way you look at it, war will always profit someone, so it is always a wise move to make it profit you or your allies. Take a read of Sun Tzu's the Art of War, and perhaps you will have a better understanding.
Now I have to ask, have you ever even been in a military or armed forces of any kind? Or are you just speaking from a civilians perspective entirely?
Thank you!
