So says Andrew Bacevich, retired colonel and Vietnam War veteran, in an interview with Democracy Now!
He states:
"Well, I don’t know that I would judge somebody’s qualifications simply on one particular vote, but
I have to agree with the basic argument that Senator Sanders is making, that Secretary Clinton is an unreconstructed hawk. Now, in terms of the rhetoric, she comes across as more reasoned than the Republican opposition, but the fact of the matter is,
if we elect her to be our next commander-in-chief, we are voting for the continuation of the status quo with regard to U.S. national security policy, and specifically U.S. national security policy in the Greater Middle East. So, for people for whom that is an important issue, who want to see change in U.S. policy, she’s not going to be the vehicle for change."
I agree 100%.
It's a very interesting interview overall.
