:large
No one knows better the results of our devastating wars on the countries we are still bombing and droning than those who live there.
Women especially are so adversely affected by our current Foreign Policies.
No one can say they support Women and Support War. Every statistic on War and Women proves that.
Bernie Sanders OPPOSED and voted against the First Gulf War.
He opposed and voted against the Second Gulf War.
AND in his speeches opposing these wars he POINTED OUT how we spend money on wars but NOT on education and improving the conditions of children who are living in poverty.
Listen to him in this speech opposing the FIRST GULF WAR eg, and see how he and Malala agree on this issue:
We could do so much good in the world. If we had spent the trillions wasted on war, lives wasted, children slaughtered, further impoverished, forced into refugee camps by the millions, on HELPING them, we would have no enemies worth worrying about.
Sanders is the ONLY candidate who has spoken out against those horrific wars.
Another reason why I support him.

(9,126 posts)Why isn't everyone in this country sick of it? Before, I did not personally take responsibility for the wars waged by my government, because I did not vote for those leaders or I had no choice but the lesser of two evils.
Now people DO have a choice and should be willing to live with the responsibility if that leader decides to go to war. Your vote is your voice and should not be used for identity politics but to support the policies and ideals you believe in. You have a clear choice this time.
