Thought we knew this but @TulsiGabbard didn’t vote for the Military budget (NDAA.) That was voted on months ago. She voted for parts of the appropriations bill that included the Stop Arming Terrorist Act & vet aid. If we’re going to make general claims make sure they’re correct.

Tulsi was 21 when 1st elected to HI state legislature. She was 24 when she enlisted to work in a medical unit in Iraq, at the height of the war ‘05-6. Later in Kuwait. Counterpunch editor Jeffrey St Clair is critical of her for going there after everyone knew that Colin Powell’s

I don't care about the STATE legislature. The claim was made that her "military experience" in 2004-06 changed her voting. She did not vote on national defense budgets until she was in the Congress, in 2013, and her campaign was primarily funded by major defense industry PACs.

Bernie, like Tulsi, has traveled all over to meet with leaders, but approved the exorbitant and faulty F35 FIRST STRIKE NUCLEAR WEAPONS carrier for jobs in VT; also approved of Obomber’s drone program, that Chomsky called the worst terrorism in the world. Now he proposes a 50%

The F35 was Sen. Leahy's project, as reported in The Vermont Digger. Further, Bernie's meetings with foreign leaders are approved and sanctioned, not "by accident", and he does NOT meet and ally himself with the authoritarian axis. He fights against it, WITH ALLIES ON THE LEFT.

cut in US war budget (a good start), but haven’t heard any details.

Bernie is advocating a defense cut. He did not vote yea for the Senate version of HR 6157 (S. 3159), but Gabbard did. https://votesmart.org/bill/25215/64284/27110/department-of-defense-and-labor-health-and-human-services-and-education-appropriations-act-2019#.XUqWSbdMGdM …https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/s3159 …

Her votes haven't changed on defense spending. She voted aye to 6157 which authorized the defense budget for FY 2019. She was in Iraq in 2004. She's been in Congress since 2013. In that time she voted for 19/29 defense spending bills. Bernie voted for 3 in the same 6 years.

You can’t equate entire defense budgets to parts of appropriations. That’s what you’re doing to make your point. You’re spreading disinformation.

Maybe Tulsi Gabbard has grown, as you imply. She used to be homophobic when very young, reportedly, and said that is not true anymore now that she knows a much broader range of people.
