Exactly! If I were a commie, fascist or some other sort of statist, I would imagine that someone else owes me a job. I realize that nobody owes me a job, so I weighed the pain of job-hunting against the pleasure of quitting a job I didn't like, and decided to stay. Instead I conducted a much lower-paced job hunt, taking almost a year, while keeping the hated job. When a better job came along, I took it--and I've been quite happy in it for a few years now.
How far we've come from the days of Teddy Roosevelt, who demanded the return of an American, alive, or the man who grabbed him, dead.
I certainly agree with this boast in principle: if my day comes to be killed, I certainly hope my kill ratio exceeds 1:1 before I go. However, you are essentially falling back on the child's cry for paternalism: Look out world! Teddy Roosevelt, the Great White Father, will kick your @sses if you touch me! Defend yourself, wuss. Don't hide behind some big bully who, by the way, robs me to pay for your much-vaunted protection.
Don't worry - it won't be. Someone will just drop WMDs on us, secure in the knowledge that market failures have made ballistic missile defense impossible.

LOL. You'll excuse me if I don't take that especially seriously, coming as it does from someone who's spending a great deal of time explaining to me how delicious his imaginary steak is ;)
The statist viewpoint would be that if the government's resources can more efficiently find you a job than you can find it yourself then you should accept that and be willing to pay the additional taxes to support that service. There is no room for the idea that there are things people ought to have to take care of for themselves, and you aren't doing them any favors by doing it for them, efficiently or not.
Milsted's cost/benefit "economy of scale" arguments are a recipe for socialism.
