That's an assumption most people make, and I wonder why that is. Reagan was called a warmonger from day one, but if you look back, all he did was invade a tiny Caribbean island. Compare that to the tons of bombs Clinton dropped.

Then there is the famous question asked to Colin Powell by Madeline Albright, "What's the point of having this vast, superior military if we aren't going to use it?" Powell wrote in his autobiography that he almost had an aneurysm after she said that.

More examples of lefty hawks - McNamara and LBJ.

Lefties tend to misunderstand the purpose of the military.
