Ask HN: Can a Corporation have its own army?

In the scenario of corps getting huge, owning vast territories, creating their own culture and social facilities, having more budget than some countries. Could they just train their own army? Is this happening?

    Alas, it's nothing new. Cf. the various East India Companies from the 17th century.

    These are already true.
