[Lnc-business] Resolution Affirming The Value of Military Members In And Out Of The LP

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

My intent ti to address and recognize the spectrum of Libertarian belief on
the subject while stressing empathy and that the system is the problem -
and the system is our target.

I hope factionalism as I have already seen rear up in circles outside this
group does not de-rail this effort.

Libertarians are friends, not food.
