    Libertarians want minimal government intervention only when it comes to services that THEY don’t need. Libertarians have no philosophical restrictions on military spending that protects THEIR assets from foreign invaders.

        (the US) haven’t had “foreign invaders” since the War of 1812.

        False. Pearl Harbor was a foreign invasion. So are covert assassinations by foreign operatives.

          False. Hawaii wasn’t a state in 1941 and Pearl Harbor wasn’t an invasion anyway. Wake Island would be a better example since it was actually invaded, but it was also a claimed territory and not a state. Assassinations are not “invasions”.
