I found many neocons were Trotskyite in their youth.And neocons have passion in interventionist policy as Trotskyite in the world revolution.

Some names would help here... I know Reagan was famously left-leaning in his younger years, as was Jeb Bush, but other than that I can't think of any ex-Trot neocons.

Irving Kristol,the father of neocon,he was a Trotskyite in his youth.

Also co-founded the project for a new american century, which is significant enough imo that it can't be brushed off, though the really dogmatic, religious trotskyists will try to.

Tony Blair is another one. Honourable mention to Piers Corbyn (Jeremy Corbyn’s brother) who is Trot and climate denier.
