I like that Bernie is not focused on this as much as he is our economics, I appreciate that, but their positions are similar.

(62,325 posts)gave all the reasons why he supported the efforts for peace. He was clear, concise, leaving no doubt as to where he stood.
I don't have any memory of Hillary's position on this, until just recently.
He opposed Iraq, Afghanistan, the First Gulf War, and Vietnam.
Hillary supported Iraq, Afghanistan, don't know about Vietnam
There is a huge difference between the two on FP. Hillary is a Hawk, Bernie is against War for Profit which is what just about all our wars since WW11 have been.
I do not want a hawk running this country and neither do a majority of Americans, having watched the horrific results of their policies. Libya was another of Hillary's wars, and look at what has happened to that unfortunate country also.
I want leaders who do as Bernie says we should do, War should be a LAST RESORT always and only in defense of this country.
... and I'll throw in a somewhat unrelated observation.
I really wish our Department of War was still called the Department of War, as it was in the 1940s. Let's call it what it is and make certain that if we go there, we acknowledge that it's a terrible course of action and a last resort.
Calling it the Department of Defense sanitizes it and obscures the reality. It's a euphemism. It should be remembered that the Nazis characterized every aggressive act they committed as acts of self-defense.
