For the same reasons US troops cannot be used on American soil except in Martial Law. The defense of the nation and the personal interests of companies are 2 different things.
I am in the military and while I am willing to give my life for my country I am not willing to give my life for the interests of a private company.
Should American companies be allowed to send their own troops into a war which America is participating in?

(Still, the idea of sending a thousand door greeters to Iran sounds pretty funny when you think about it!)
Honestly, I'm not sure which way to answer this one.
Many corporations already provide support services to the US military so its'a short step
The Second Amendment by no stretch of the imagination empowers private citizens to raise their own militias. The "well regulated militia" which the Second Amendment is intended for is a militia under the control of the Governor of the State (and whose leader under the Constitution is the President of the United States, a fact that most of the nutjob militias in the wilds of Michigan always overlook), empowered for the purpose of defending the State and the Nation from foreign invaders or internal insurrectionists. No one, not even Clarence Thomas, would agree that the Second Amendment empowers private individuals to raise their own army, and the Second Amendment absolutely does not empower citizens to attack their own government.
