304. As a former military guy, Gore was more likely to have sent forces after the murderers who
killed 3,000 of our citizens and actually get them than Bush was. But as a former military guy who'd been in country in a war, he was probably less likely to engage in a nation building kind of war that we ended up with in Afghanistan.

And far less likely to have gone to war in Iraq.

Don't know how one gauges a politician's record on war, other than to look at his military experience. Seems like those with it are more likely to be able to listen to a variety of military views and to actually avoid war easier than those with no military or little military service.
