How would a libertarian society respond to a foreign request for military assistance?
Individuals in a libertarian society could respond as they wished. Pacifists could decline to contribute. Activists could raise money to pay for sending troops overseas. Young people could volunteer for military service in that country. Non-combatants could volunteer their time to help with the paperwork and training that accompanies any war effort. Everyone could give or decline to give as they wished. Instead of Congress deciding what the American people would contribute, each individual would decide for him or herself.
