I will take an antiwar Republican over a neocon Republican everytime, Neocon = more big government, more deficit spending, more boots on the ground and more crony capitalism.

I think the term neocon, to the extent it ever had any real meaning, has lost it.

Also, one can believe in American military action when needed without being in favor of crony capitalism.

Like me, for example. The big question, of course, is what qualifies as “when appropriate.”

For instance, do we just want to piss and moan about ISIS and its war on women and Christians, or are we willing to do something effective against them?

We absolutely, positively do have the power to destroy them whenever we decide to, so in the final analysis our failure to do so boils down to refusing to do so because it’s inconvenient or because we believe it’s unwise.

Both positions make valid points, but if you CAN stop an evil and choose not to do so, then please stop whining about its existence.
