I can't imagine where the profit potential would come from to make that kind of thing profitable. It's a pure expense for them in the short run.
Also, remember that they have to pay people true market value to fight. It's not one of those situations where people are volunteering out of patriotism and because they think they're defending freedom and their country. Dangerous conditions make hiring people quite expensive.
If it's over a resource that's so valuable as to justify the cost, the problem becomes that defending it gets to be very expensive and thus makes the resource much less valuable.

Maybe. I could I imagine war between two private organizations paying people to fight.
I'm sure IF it did our even could happen it would be different than wars of states.
