Marco Rubio just promised to send our youth into four ground wars. If elected.

Is there a war that Sen. Marco Rubio isn't willing to send your children to die in for the sake of geopolitics? Apparently not.

Juan Cole, a University of Michigan history professor and foreign policy commentator, noticed something terrifying about Thursday night's 11th GOP debate in Detroit that the rest of us missed: During a discussion on "terrorism" - FoxNewsSpeak for "foreign policy" - Marco Rubio promised to launch not one, but four new ground wars for the sake of keeping us safe. By which, of course, he means keeping well-off and mostly white Americans safe. When it comes to the rest of the world- including the young people who join our nation's armed forces- the baby-faced Florida senator doesn't give a damn.

Starting wars is not the way to be keeping us safe.
Helping people better their lives is.

and given his competition, that's really saying something.
Trump, Cruz and Rubio are all nightmares.

Repubs always start wars and then send other people's
kids off to fight and die or be scarred on the inside and out.
