Sanders accuses Israel of 'disproportionate' response in Gaza | CNN Politics

My comment: Bernie Sanders applied for conscientious objector status during the Vietnam War and still ran for the office of commander and chief.

Bernie Sanders said, "The military is too large and we spend too much on the defense budget. We need to focus more heavily on diplomatic alternatives to war. The exorbitant defense budget must be cut so we can spend that money on pressing domestic challenges."

Bernie Sanders's voting record on major war authorizations is mixed. He affirmed actions in Bosnia, Kosovo, and after 9/11, voted against the Iraq War in 2002. He applauded Biden's decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. In his 2020 presidential campaign in Iowa, Bernie Sanders stated that the strike on Gen. Qasem Soleimani was a “dangerous escalation.

His strategic and tactical insight into fighting a war mirrors his own decision to declare that he was a conscientious objector. His voting record clearly shows that others fighting in a war that he affirmed by vote is the right thing to do so long as he can watch from an armchair far-far away. Now he declares the IDF is fighting the war incorrectly.

As a legend in his own mind, Sanders wants them to hire Social Care workers for the front line. They are better positioned to bring peace to the area. [Snarky]"
