	Do libertarians believe in the privatization of military? Now libertarians who are US Constitutionalists would disagree because they believe that one of the functions of US Federal Government is to provide defense and military for its nation. However, to those who are not constitutionalists, would you support and be all for privatization of the military? What would be some of the pros and cons of this idea? How would this be different from other federal department or programs privatization?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
