Next time, you should be more specific.

Actually president Trump has expressed similar sentiment. He is surprised by the number of hawks in his administration. No need for war with Iran.

“.....was in fact about Iran”

You’ll notice that my post #119, right before yours stated:

“Both were hip deep in weapons they have been using against each other for a number of wars.” Yes, my post was about Iran in #30 but it related to their mirror image with Iraq. Weapons are all over the middle east. And we helped put some of them there starting with Carter in the 1970’s.

Tulsi will be the VP candidate for the dems, prezactly because of her military service.

Possible, I guess, but unlikely.

If somebody considered far to the left is nominated she might balance the ticket.

But Hawaii is solid Democrat and Samoan Hindus aren't a very large voting bloc and if Democrats really want somebody closer to the center as VP, they'll look for somebody from the mainland.

Does she even know what that means?

It's been a political phrase for almost as long as it's been a sexual one.

It fits more with the Bush administration than Trump's, though.

I saw that. I guess the OP isn’t the only Tulsi lover around here.

You are right. For at least decades, the term chicken hawk has been used as you defined it - adult males who prey on boys.

“If she was worth a crap, she wouldn’t be a Demonrat to begin with.”

Hubby believes she is/was a GOP, but only turned Rat to get elected in Hawaii. He worked with her father, Mike, 25 or 30 years ago in an anti-homosexuality organization, and he was a decent guy. Tulsi should’ve been raised right. (Of course, things and people change over three decades.)

Unless HW or Dubya intervened in some way to “save” a family member from serving in the military, your point / argument is irrelevant.

In reply to the article, I would say that Tulsi is showing spectacular inability to think out of the box.

She’s another Kerry. She served in Iraq as a reserve admin officer, from Hawaii with the army national guard, in a medical unit, the 29th. It was forward, but the only action she saw was accidental if at all.
