What are the responsibilities of an Objectivist government?

I have listened to everything thing from businesses should pay no taxes to America is not a sovereign country and there should be no regulations on anything. Certainly the government has some responsibilities.

I'm sorry I did mean a professional military. But doesn't our military have the world set up into different regions? Isn't that what the SOCOM and such are?
Let's see, the current system has a "professional" military that carries out the policy of the political leadership. That's not what you described before, with a number of independent military leaders, each of whom had autonomous authority over their specific region.
I do have previous military experience (I'm a West Point grad and served for over 5 years), so I'm not entirely ignorant of the issues.
I don't know much about the military or the inner workings of how our current system places people in charge. But it wouldn't be much different from how or current system works.
The one thing that would be different is if our Government actually declared war it would be at the sole discretion of the leader of the military how to win that war. After all, if you hire someone to do a job you don't stand over their shoulder and tell them how to do something you have no idea how to do yourself.
