Once again, it makes me thankful that McCain and Romney both lost. Obama is not easily moved to gestures to please the warmongers. He’s the rarest of all-A Chief Executive secure enough in his skin to not need to play War Hero. So there may be airstrikes if he thinks it’s in the interest of World stability, but that’s it.

Remember when those same warmongers were crying about how Obama was “leading from behind” in Libya? He had an international coalition behind him that was doing the ground work while the United States did what it does best-communications and logistics. He won that war militarily without losing a single soldier.

Bergdahl? Alive and free without starting another war with the Taliban or losing a single Special Forces soldier in the rescue.

Unlike a lot of Presidents we all could name, he’s been sparing and careful with our military resources and people, only using them when that’s the only real option. And I’m glad for it.
