re: #280 Obdicut

I’m sorry, I honestly don’t understand that post.

My point is: A lot of Paulians are anti-military, either anti-uses-the-military-is-put-to (which is what most of the ‘anti-military’ left) is composed of, or otherwise.

The Paulians are ascendant on the ‘right’ at the moment.

I think that for what you’re saying to be true you have to include a broad definition of ‘anti-military’ when talking about the left, but a very, very narrow one when talking about the right. If you use the same definition for both, you’ll find a lot of anti-military sentiment on the right, libertarian or no.

We disagree. The right of the libertarian crowd is full of military types, myself included. Buchanan is an isolationist mostly because he has an issue with Jews, not the military. Paul is a different story entirely but still isn’t anti-military he just doesn’t believe there is ever really a need for their use. The left side of the libertarian crowd HATES and fears the military, it’s a pretty large distinction.
