1) I fought against the draft and the foolishness called the VietNam War. Both were evil absurdities as was the Korean War, our invasions in Latin America and the Middle East. I learned that while preparing to go into the military. I went to ROTC like any other good Hoosier boy, watched my high school friends come back in body bags and helped my hero, who was going to marry my sister (before she got pregnant while waiting in the states), fight through his heroin addiction he picked up there. He was a highly decorated marine who went on to become a D.I. at Pendleton. He told me all sorts of "fun" stories about taking Vietnamese in his helicopter, dropping one out to ensure the "cooperation" of the others, and other stories.
Yes, I learned just what war is all about. I became an anti-war activist speaking out against the atrocities and the American military machines like the one today. I speak out against the current one whenever I can. That is what a libertarian should do. 2) I hope you've gotten therapy for the indoctrination. Also hope that you've got an honest job now. 3) If you understand libertarianism, I do hope that you are encouraging other libertarians to GET OUT of the LP. The LP has nothing to do with libertarianism, save to waste and use our valuable resources in wasteful manners. 4) I don't know when joining a socialist institution like the military is a "fight for our liberty". I would encourage young people to keep out of the military, and encourage the ones already caught up in the socialist steam roller to get out as quickly as possible and to try to make amends to those whose rights he has already violated.
