Tulsi Gabbard is right: Trump’s cabinet is full of ‘chicken hawks’
Washington Examiner ^ | June 26 2019 | Brad Polumbo

Posted on 06/26/2019 8:09:18 PM PDT by rintintin

In a presidential debate with nine candidates and one Beto O’Rourke on stage, it’s hard to stand out. So tonight, Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard leaned on her credentials as a military veteran and her reputation for restrained foreign policy, taking a hard stance on the Trump administration that’s sure to stand out.

She said:

The president and his chicken hawk cabinet led us to the brink of war with Iran. I served in the war in Iraq at the height of the war in 2005, a war that took over 4,000 of my brothers and sisters in uniforms' lives. The American people need to understand this war would be far more devastating, far more costly than anything we saw in Iraq.

A Hawk is someone who wants to go to war.

A Chicken Hawk is a adult male who preys on underage males.

That’s how I understand it. And I’m pretty sure the Democrats want to fill the cabinet with chicken hawks.

Closet lesbian hindu moron.

There may or may not have been WMD in Iraq. But we lost it cause politicians didn’t let troops EXTERMINATE Iraq army and the shia militias, and blow up 90% of the mosques.

We needed to DE-JIHADIFY Iraq like we denazified Germany.

Either that or bomb them to ruin and just take their oil. Feed only those who give up the koran.

Tulsi served in Iraq. That’s more than any member of the Bush or Cheney family can say

Could someone clarify what her point is? The last hawk I saw killing a chicken was a big Cooper’s hawk, it hit one of my grandmothers red hens. It rolled it, struck once, and was leaving the yard with the hen when my uncle put a load of #4 bird shot in it. Dead hawk but not before the hen was hammered. What’s her point?

George H.W. Bush was shot down twice. Please tell me what your warrior hero Tulsi did that compares to that. And no, I am not a Bush fan.

I ALWAYS loved me a good war!!

Great TV and stunning graphics!!

Like a four star movie!!

Until I received a Brutal head injury (which most here know about already!).

6 year of recovery and untold horrors later, I DO NOT WANT WAR!!

Our brain injured soldiers number the 10s of thousands and mine was awful but theirs are SO MUCH WORSE.

I got almost all better.

They did NOT!

Use the navy and air force and dissenters in Iran to do the trick.

There is NO compelling reason to ruin young American KIDS’ entire future in Iran!

Gabbard is a total drama queen - where was she during the last administration while Obama was drawing lines in the sand?

gabbard was a medic in the service.

While an honorable profession, gabbard should clarify she isn't a combat vet.

And George McGovern flew a B-24 in the thick of World War II in the ETO.
Military experience, is simply military experience and has very little to no bearing on how good of a president somebody would be.
As most vets can tell you, being a vet imparts you with no special wisdom beyond your MOS.

I completely agree. But if we are going to try to score points using military service, we should at least get it right.

Sorry, veteran or not, she gets on my nerves with that Aloha and I just can’t warm up to her. If she was worth a crap, she wouldn’t be a Demonrat to begin with......

Perhaps not but FAILING to SUPPORT our troops in theater (regardless of your OPINION) is a DISQUALIFER for ANY office, except IDIOT & perhaps COWARD.
