The latest in Libertarian drama comes this week following a debate among three prominent figures in the Libertarian party, Marine Corps veterans Adam Kokesh and Larry Sharpe and National Vice Chair Arvin Vohra. Vohras statements have led many in the party to call for his resignation and he has definitively lost the argument within the majority of the party, especially after some unapologetic apologies.

Having met Vohra at the National Convention and personally talking to him on some other issues, I might have voted for him myself had I been a delegate. The cause of outrage? How Libertarians should view the military, particularly its service members. I recommend watching the initial YouTube debate titled Freedom and the Military hosted by Vin Armani.
