I think there’s a lot more foreign policy hawkishness here than there is on Daily Kos. I think pretty much everyone here is in support of the Afghanistan War, for example.

I am. As I see it, Afghanistan is the “good war,” the one we should have been focused 100% on for the last ten years. A war such as we haven’t seen since waaayyy back in WW2. Nothing in between has made us feel even remotely good about what we were supposed to stand for.

Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Iraq, Iraq… none of these were ever “good wars” like WWII or Afghanistan were. And no matter how hard we tried to hide that fact from our servicement it never took for some reason. Ultimately every one of them had to ultimately deal with the fact that they were sent to kill people for no good reason.
