who know nothing of Sanders support for the military. The fact that they didn't disrupt him proves that they either don't know his record (most likely), or they do know his record but give him a pass.

Bernie has always advocated for a strong military. For the strongest in the world in fact and he's been very consistent on that. His point is in how it's used and his supporters agree.

You need to focus on Trump.

choose to disrupt the speech by the general and not Bernie?

Was the general advocating for war? Don't think so.

It's the fear as to how readily some will jump on that slippery slope.

Nobody said anyone was advocating for war and they were not fearing Hillary jumping on a slippery slope.

They were disrupting, pure and simple.
