and should take some responsibility in the military efforts against ISIS. Of course, since Bernie said that, we are seeing Saudi Arabia active in the military struggle in Yemen.

Bernie has been the leader on the Veterans' Affairs Committee. His views on foreign policy and national security are bound to have been influenced by his experience there.

Personally, i think that our economic problems are the greatest threat to our national security at this point.

It will be interesting to hear what Bernie has to say on many of the foreign policy issues. He has been in the Congress a long time and therefore probably knows a lot about military, national security and foreign affairs issues.
