Beware thinking only Establishment forces are “qualified” to talk about war! Gen. Powell, Cheney & Rumsfeld all “qualified” and led us into the war in Iraq. Btw, more women and children died in wars in the 20th century then did military combatants. Damn right we’re qualified.

I don't think only establishment forces are qualified but I definitely don't think you are. Nor am I.

That’s too bad, because the power in this country supposed to belong to the people. Abdicating our best thinking to others is what has led us into such catastrophic military misadventures.

Im not saying we cant have opinions. Im just saying neither you nor I are qualified to make decisions about war. Trump being president & making these decisions is terrifying. But Im not certain I would feel any more comfortable with you in office either. Experience is important.

By ur logic here, evangelical ppl who want to take away the rights of women to control their bodies or the rights of LGBTQ people should be considered legitimate and qualified just because they are people who live in this country. Be careful.

Funny how you suggested the principle that some aren't qualified to talk about war. Your only qualm is being added to that list.
