Rubio and Kristol's viewpoints highlight the contrast between government as a ladder of nationalistic mercenary chaos and government as a means to effect a rule of laws. It's an important discussion to have; I think I first encountered it as a recurring topic in 5th grade but it looks like some may have found a way to bypass the concept completely so it needs some widespread re-introduction. Thanks for posting.
