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

Fri May 19 12:30:46 EDT 2017

PS:  I have heard personally from some conscientious objectors who asked
that they not be thrown out of the window in their historic Libertarian
position of objection to military participation.  In a quest to show
empathy to one constituency, do not forget other voices, even if they might
be minority voices.
