    You don’t believe in standing armies? I’m sorry but you’re either 5 years old or incredibly naive.

        It’s a ridiculous goal. Armies aren’t just for waging wars against other people. Emergencies arise where it’s absolutely CRUCIAL you have well trained, organized soldiers ready to respond.

          A trained, voluntary militia is the only way to have ethical defense that can’t be abused. Maybe we don’t get there, but having the goal be more militia vs standing army can be worked out.

          The world won’t always be the same and we should plan for more liberty oriented and equitable outcomes instead of dismissing them out of hand because we don’t think they’re pragmatic today.

            Absolute rubbish. When shit hits the fan, I want trained marines, not volunteer weekend warriors.
