Since you and others can't raise sufficient funds privately to give to the military, so that no taxes have to be raised, perhaps people don't really favor funding the Iraq war?

First, that sort of army is a private army: if the money is raised privately why should it be given to a government army?

Second, Where does the Iraq war come into your argument? How do you know the same statement is not true for any war? Or the city police for that matter? Perhaps the people you are talking about feel they can get a free ride of security on other people's private donations?
