What hawkish response would you have advised? Boots on the ground when the folks in the region voted to join Russia, and, thereby, truly revisit Vietnam?

Four Iranian boats approach a US Navy cruiser, but not close enough as to be viewed as threatening by the ship's commander. What is your hawkish response? Create an international incident when a gnat bites your backside?

If Colin Powell sees Bill Clinton at a Beltway event, and women give him attention, that becomes "Bimbogate"? DJT has several ex-wives. Does that similarly bother you?

"All hail hawks" put a lot of bodies in bags in Iraq. Despite all your "if only he had a pair" disrespect of our twice-elected President, you have only guessed about how outcomes in Iraq, in Afghanistan might have been different. Lincoln implored that the dead of both sides at Gettysburg "not die in vain." Our leaders should make policy and send troops with that in mind.
