Ah LewRockwell. The only "conservatives" who were happier when Clinton was President.

[quidnunc]

This article is powerful evidence of one thing — that the Lew Rockwell &c are a bunch of raving paleocon loons.

[You Dirty Rats]

This is either a satirical piece or staggeringly stupid and ignorant. I suspect the latter.

[Semper Paratus]

Maybe we could "Outsource" our defense.

[Moby Grape]

And just when I thought the LoserRockwell bunch couldn't possibly say anything dumber......oh my...these idiots can leave one speechless.....

Anybody who believes that the United States would still be around today if we abolished our military is a nutcase.

Hell, even France wouldn't be around if it wasn't for the U.S. military.

On second thought...

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

I am sure all anti-Americans would love for the USA to
get rid of our military.

[nopardons]

And you posted this because you agree, or disagree with the article ?

[Texas_Dawg]

Fans of the Confederacy and Lew Rockwell are a dangerously dumb combination.

Edmonds is living proof that even morons can get published...but only by a free publication because anything more would be a ripoff! I won't even begin to dignify such an idiotic piece with a response.

[TruthSyrum]

what an ass, where is the "barf alert". I guess Brad never heard of the Declaration of Independence:

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes"

The ability to retain cheap human labor was not a good enough reason to abolish our great nation imo.

also: "the military has never been necessary to prevent our freedoms being taken by other countries" did this dumbass ever hear of WWI or WW2? I guess the nazi's would have been happy just with Europe. This guy must be talking about Canada's army...

This article is pretty laughable to me but his misinterpretation of the "funding the army for only two years" is even more so.

[Ff--150]

1. Any standing military force aside from the Navy is unconstitutional. The Constitution provides for funding of armies only two years at a time

Hehehe, kinda hard to argue, if ya kin read???

[Shryke]

Rather odd place to post this article, no? Did you plan on finding support amongst sane conservatives to....hard to say this.....abolish our military??????? I am beginning to think that libertarians are anarchists in disguise.

[proxy_user]

Opposition to a standing army originated in 18th-century England.

Two points should be noted:

1. England is an island.
2. No one opposed a standing Navy.

[R. Scott]

A Constitutional Amendment would be nice to correct this error.
Yes, the Founding Fathers feared a standing military, but today it is a necessity. There is no way a Militia could handle the equipment we now have or be ready to respond as quickly as is needed.

[Poohbah]

The private sector could provide a deterrent, enough to prevent any threat of foreign invasion, for probably 1/10 of that – which, remember, would still amount to $40 billion.

OK, let's see the proposed force structure and concept of operations.
