Roberts can get off base a bit, but this is one of his better articles. His central argument, is that war feeds the deep state, and is the means by which our liberties have been systematically eroded, and that erosion justified.

My argument is that the virtue of a heavily armed and well trained militia is that you are an unconquerable people, but unable to export your violence.

I have no respect at all for libertarian pacifism as a means of obscuring one’s free-riding. A militia and a mastery of violence are necessary costs that we must bear, just as respect for property rights are costs we must bear. Violence is a virtue. And failing to master violence, or hiring state or private mercenaries, is the surest route to a society without virtue, and without virtue, without liberty.
