Will you join the armed services when President Clinton starts a war with Iran or Syria?

Are you willing to put your body where your heart is and sign up and fight for the clearly righteous not at all motivated by oil war that President Hillary Clinton has basically signaled she will be pushing for?

Because if you aren't then basically what you are doing is voting to send someone else's brother or sister off to die in a foreign land.

It's ok, we understand. Acceptance is pretty far off for many of you.

We do not accept warmongering. Heck we reject it. That does set us apart from many, but that's ok, we like peace for everyone and with Bernie we have the best hope for peace. Given H's history, war from her is expected.

It we do not vote out the GOP down ticket this is what they will try to do. GOP is notorious for using their office to try to bring down others in their pursuit of power and money. So if you want a progressive President make sure they have people to back them up in Congress and enough of them to stop republicant attacks in their tracks. Won't matter if it is Bernie or Hillary if you leave them on their own to do it like Obama was left without back up in the Congress. Oh and no she wouldn't resign. She is tougher than that.

But it's a lost cause. These people revel in immorally spilled blood, blood spilled in direct opposition to the oath of enlistment that those of us who used to believe in our country swore. After this cycle, my faith in the country is shot; and I intend to separate as soon as possible.

are not that lucky, and now will live with permanent physical and mental trauma that I will never be able to comprehend no matter how much my heart and soul hurts for them.

When did you serve? Vietnam? Gulf War 1? Gulf War 2? (not trying to age you just curious I swear!)

My problem will come when President Clinton strikes a deal with the Republicans that involves cuts to Social Security. I suppose my consolation, as I price cat food at the supermarket, will be that the arrangement comes out of that "nice, warm, purple space" that she so values. Presumably the arrangements for military intervention will be similarly purple.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is the sort of over-the-top RW rhetoric that Skinner asked us to tone down.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Apr 26, 2016, 10:38 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Thats not over the top RW rhwtoric. The RW wants the US involved in Syria and ISIS. It may be LW rhetoric: but I happen to agree with it and because its calmly stated in a polite way, no hide is warranted.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No President should that any action off the table. Any candidate that says so is not qualified to serve.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The question raises legitimate concern. Discuss the topic, and rebut it if you can. Don't censor it.

Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Why the hell would I vote to hide this?
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
