Yes Eric, apparently he fooled his oldest son and his wife as to his intentions as well.

Had you put a few years in the service you'd have seen the changes he made, which were anything other than Libertarian.

Well excuse me for having failed the physical.....but I still know a lot about the changes that were made in the military. But one must recall that the military isn't a very libertarian place, nor can it be.

As far as military affairs go, Reagan was a "small-l" libertarian where it counted the most: he opposed conscription. Therefore, everyone there was a volunteer, and had consented to live under military rules. His foreign policy was the opposite of that espoused by the "large L" libertarians, but indeed foreign policy is one of the major differences between the "large L"s and "small L"s. Personally, I prefer Reagan's to Harry Browne's.

Besides, the topic was cultural, not military policy. Besides abortion, which libertarians and even liberals can oppose in good conscience, Reagan did nothing to advance the social/cultural conservative agenda, and indeed did much to set it back when he libertarianized the FCC.
