Wars of choice started and supported by both of them that got 10s of 1000s American soldiers killed for no reason. 100s of 1000s more maimed for life also for no real reason.
Hillary supported or voted for every single war of choice starting with the bombing of Kosovo in 1995 until 2012.
It started with Johnson, the Carter came along and really but the bad taste in a lot of the military members mouth, to the point it almost became part of the culture. Reagan came and it was viewed as pretty positive with the build up, and hoo-rah carrying on to the dissolution of the USSR. Clinton got a bad wrap with the draw down, even though it was justified, but the 1993 Somalia thing sort of set up views for the rest of his presidency. Bush got a boost with all the patriotism coming after 9/11, continuing through his term. Obama I think was mixed, nothing overly negative occurred, but a few of the hoo-rah war hawks did not want a deescalation regarding drawing down troops, and eventually the military was drawn down as under Clinton.
Just my perspective on it.
