Is it morally okay to join the military?

If the property won’t be returned, then what is the harm in using it? The way to bankrupting America is voting for more tyranny, not taking its money.

Government is just an illegitimate law making body. Foreign policy is just an excuse to kill or subsidize foreigners. There are no citizens, because to be a citizen, there must be a social contract. The Constitution has no authority.

You’ll have to declare what a libertarian is, because you’re using a definition that few here would.

So, I have the right to steal your money to protect myself from others? Because that is exactly what you are implying.

One can either use the roads that don’t belong to the state anyway, or starve at home. So please do not provide wrong and misleading analogies.

As to your ‘moral’ support for people who want to join the military - what the hell is wrong with you ?

well i think you’re riding this thread, looking for a little thrills and shills.

see ya

No, but whether or not he joins the military the money will be stolen from you. The money might as well be put to good use.

Should we all be called un-libertarian because we use public roads, because we have no alternative? Are we thieves? At some point, the argument gets ridiculous.

The presence is illegal, but killing troops is still evil and is usually done to hurt the United States. At what point did I say that legitimate self-defense war has occurred? And of course I mean self-defense war and not interventionist war. Do not make up straw men to argue with me.

I’m not an american. I pay as little taxes as possible, and have as little to do with the state as possible.

What is the good use here? I work for my living. I hustle. I sacrifice. Why am I doing that, if I could just go on the government dole?

The United States is on another’s property with the intent of surpressing them. For all intents and purposes, those killing Americans (it can be argued) are doing so in self-defense.

You’re equivocating using roads with killing women and children? Nice.

Yeah, and you just took it there. For crissakes, I thought you were a libertarian, not a consequentialist.

What is ridiculous, nay, totally SICK, is your attempt at confusing using roads with joining the military.

Who do you think you are kidding ?

This sounds like a nice excuse.

So is Ron Paul a potential murder or an enabler of murder?

WTF are you talking about? The presence is illegal, that is correct. So you’re saying it’s ok for Americans to illegally go to Iraq, kill people and change the government, but no one should fight back? Would you feel the same way if the Chinese invaded America and started killing your countrymen?

@all, Wilderness is right. This guy is just trolling.

A US soldier standing in your yard is not there to suppress you, here’s there to make your community more safe, and self-defense applies to the individual and not the community. Killing US soldiers, like making sanctions, is generally an act of war.

Then why do you care? Obviously, I am not considering you out as the only taxpayer. I am talking about all taxpayers. The money will be collected irregardless.

I am considering it from the perspective that the money could either go to one public good or it could go to another one. As a taxpayer, I rather consider that my money was the money going to him for his survival as oppose to, say, a bomb. This is especially true if he’s in the Air Force and working a job that does not go to combat (the majority of Air Force jobs).

Or, all public teachers enemies of freedom, and so are all nurses which work for public hospitals? Firefighters, policemen? Should they be considered unlibertarian?

You make the assumption that he will be going to combat. Not all soldiers go to combat, especially in the Air Force.

Have you considered the Coast Guard? The police?

Why not get a honest, if low-paying, job ? Or alternatively drop the pretense that you have any sympathy for freedom ?

Could you kindly tell the US soldier to get off my property? [Y]
