I'm even more utterly mystified

97. It is one thing to fight a war

when you have no other choice, like WWII. After 9/11 the choice was to get Bin Laden in Afghanistan, the equivalent of going after Japan after Pearl Harbor.

Kosovo, was to prevent a slaughter of a group of people, again like WWII. If I remember correctly, we were asked to help.

His votes to fund the Iraq war was to support the troops, not to support the war. He made that perfectly clear when he cast his vote.

As for the F-35..... "To his credit, Sanders acknowledged that the program was “wasteful” in his defense of it. The contention over the F-35 in his home state of Vermont is that the program is now responsible for jobs in his hometown of Burlington, where he served as mayor before running for Congress. Some front doors of homes in the Burlington area are adorned with green ribbons, signifying support for the F-35. Sanders, like his colleagues in 45 states around the country, doesn’t want to risk the wrath of voters angry about job losses related to F-35 manufacturing, assembly, and training if the program were to be cut. And that’s where Lockheed Martin’s political savvy comes into play."

Bernie has said, that war should be the last resort, and I believe him. I don't trust or believe Hillary, too much history with telling lies, or changing her mind, when it is politically expedient.
