It'd be great if in this article there was at least a throwaway mention of the (generally superior) 1982 novel by Arthur C. Clarke. I know that's not what the post is about, but it's worth noting the actual source of the plot, characters, and general Cold War themes.

If by "multiple," you mean 2.

You sound as if you're using "neocon" as a synonym for "conservative" with a view towards "culturally conservative/traditionalist/anti-gay-marriage."

Just to be clear, we're still pretending that the movie "Uncle Buck" was a great movie?

That's not actually Neoconservatism. It's the toxic mix of the worst elements of conservatism, paranoia, and Southern self-pity that's currently a best-seller, unfortunately. Neoconservatism is a somewhat different animal.
