I can think of no institution, save that of prisons, which are more 
socialist than the military is.  Do you honestly think that, simply 
because you have been, or currently are, involved in such an 
organization that it is libertarian in any respect?  I have come across 
libertarian prisoners, usually in for non-violent offenses, and even a 
few people in the military that claim to be libertarians, but I see no 
connection or affiliation between libertarianism and military law, 
military installations (at least not until they are sold to private 
interests), WMDs, biological weapons, standing armies, ecological 
destruction of wide swaths of land called "test ranges" and "proving 
grounds" (such as we have here in Nevada), deaths of thousands and 
thousands of ordinary people, and the like.

Perhaps you can provide defenses for all of these, each of which is an 
essential element of the current military.

Cheers!
Just Ken
