If a politician wants to go to WAR then they need to get their BOOTS on first!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

I'm sick and tired of chickenhawks!

We see Trump, Clinton and the Republicans all salivating for war. Yet not one of them - yes not one of them has offered to lead by example by putting their military boots and uniform on and going out there. They just go to their cocktail parties while our men and women are killed in futile wars.

We don't want a draft.

I dare them to volunteer to be dropped by parachute into Syria!

1. Get off your high horse. Clinton is NOT

'salivating' for war. She has many times said use Force as a last resort--the same thing Bernie has said. If you were to use your 'logic;-then Bernie is salivating for war also. Neither of them are. It is what separates Democrats from the Republicans.

2. Thanks for pointing that out, I was about to agree with the OP and then i saw your

response.

While Hillary may be more war friendly than I like, she is NOTHING like the cons.

Chickenhawks are a problem.

9. That is why I am for the draft with no deferments. If you are in a wheel chair, then you work in a

office. I am tired of only the poor going to war, only those that are wanting citizenship going to war.

11. I am for putting house and senate member families at the top of the lottery list

with no deferments

It is the only way to guarantee war as a last resort

with that in place there is NO Vietnam War, none, and no war since then...

[Rosa Luxemburg]

12. If this escalates then

there will be a draft. They need to stop thinking about putting American troops on the ground.

[LiberalArkie]

13. As much of a pacifist as I am, there is something to be said that the U.S. should never get engaged

the "conflicts" etc and only go full bore Dresden type war. We loose to many good people at little limited conflicts like Viet Nam and the Iraq thing. We declare war, that requires the Air Force to send the B-52's and level the opposing country. If we are not prepared to accept being responsible for killing a million or more people, then we should not do it.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

15. All this saber rattling

whoops up support of the masses (until they mention the word 'draft')

[Rosa Luxemburg]

4. Hmmm

[Travis_0004]

5. Was invading Iraq a last resort?

[moobu2]

7. Did Hillary invade Iraq? I missed that bit of info.

[Travis_0004]

10. She voted for the iraqi war resolution,

So yes, you did miss that bit of info.

[Vattel]

14. Last resort is not the only standard that must be met for war to be justified.

War probably was the only way to oust Hussein. But that doesn't mean the invasion of Iraq was justified.

3. We would never have another war.

And their bank accounts would dry up. Hey, what a good damn idea.

[moobu2]

6. It looks like you're a victim of a misinformation campaign

conducted by you know who.

[moobu2]

8. Don't look now but Bernie's pretty much a hawk too.
