Iraq Veterans Against the War, Adam Kokesh's Path to Activism
Adam Kokesh details his journey from enlisting in the Marine Corps and serving in Iraq to becoming a full-time anti-war activist. He describes his transition from political libertarianism to a philosophical version centered on universal ethics after being disciplined at Camp Pendleton. Kokesh credits the book Ethics of Liberty by Murray Rothbard as a pivotal influence in his realization that institutionalized government violence is a primary source of human misery.
