I do not think it wise for any woman candidate to speak much about war unless she is a veteran herself. It is really grating at this point.

The hatred we are about to witness is without precedent.

So Tulsi is all good.

The DNC and MSM are shitting themselves.
Yeah, Looks like she has a combat medal. Put her up against Chief Warren.

Everybody who ever went through chemical warfare training knows what actually happened: Al Nusra (Al Qeada) was manufacturing chlorine gas in a building that happened to get hit with a conventional bomb in an air strike. The video footage shows Al Qeada actors (white helmets) touching victims with exposed skin, not wearing appropriate gear for nerve gas, etc. They'd all be dead. You'd see them in that same footage dying. The camera operator would likely fall over and die too.

Some more background on Gabbard:

Tulsi Gabbard, Iraq War Veteran and Skeptic of America's Wars, Will Run for President in 2020
The Hawaii congresswoman will be a voice for humility in U.S. foreign policy.

Gabbard says she will run on a platform that includes criminal justice issues and climate change, but she tells CNN that America's ongoing wars will be her central focus.

"There is one main issue that is central to the rest, and that is the issue of war and peace," Gabbard said, according to CNN. "I look forward to being able to get into this and to talk about it in depth when we make our announcement."

Gabbard has earned her right to be critical of those conflicts. In 2004, she volunteered for a 12-month tour of duty in Iraq while serving in the Hawaii Army National Guard, leaving her seat as a state legislator to do so. She was deployed a second time, to Kuwait, in 2008.

Since entering national politics in 2012—when she became the first Hindu elected to Congress—she has been an outspoken critic of the bipartisan consensus on foreign policy. She opposed the Obama administration's interventions in Syria as being "against America's national security, international credibility, economic interest, and moral center" and has called for putting an end to the Afghanistan war "as soon as possible."

She's also reached across the aisle to work with libertarian-minded Republicans like Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) and Rep. Justin Amash (R–Mich.) to nudge America's foreign policy in a less warmongering direction. Gabbard co-sponsored the House version of Paul's bill to cut off arms sales to Saudi Arabia and backed Amash's amendment to defund the National Security Agency over its warrantless surveillance program.

She is a democrat, after all. Her economics are magical bullshit thinking also. Foreign policy is where TDS (the Trump version and the Tulsi version) has a chance to burn the fucking commie grass hut down though.
