<u>Sponsor:</u> Hayes, Hewitt, Hagan, Mattson<br>
<br>
<u>Motion:</u> <br>
<br>
Whereas, We support the maintenance of a sufficient military
to defend the United States against aggression and believe
that the United States should both avoid entangling alliances
and abandon its attempts to act as policeman for the world;<br>
<br>
Whereas, We oppose any form of compulsory national service and
recognize that many members of the military<br>
were unjustly conscripted in the past;<br>
<br>
Whereas, Most voluntary members of the military joined with
the idea and/or goal of defending the United States<br>
and, thereby, their property, families, and friends;<br>
<br>
Whereas, The United States Military-Industrial-Complex has
used many well-meaning military service members for<br>
purposes other than defense against aggression and further
involved them in foreign entanglements during attempts<br>
to act as the world’s policeman; and<br>
<br>
Whereas, Many current and former military service members are
able to relate, identify, and speak out on the ways<br>
in which the United States military mission has been expanded
and corrupted beyond a legitimate role of defense<br>
against aggression; now, therefore, be it;<br>
<br>
Resolved, Present and former members of the military who give
such unique and powerful voice to the libertarian<br>
principles of peace and the non-initiation of force add great
value to the Libertarian Party, and are welcomed as a<br>
vital part of our membership.<br>
