andrew bacevich?> i don't know that i would judge some his qualification simply on one particular vote, but i have to agree with the basic argument that senator sanders is making, that secretary clinton is in unreconstructed hawk. in terms of the rhetoric, she comes across as more reasoned ,han the republican opposition but the fact of the matter is, if we elect her to be our next commander-in-chief, we are voting for the continuation of this status quo with regard to u.s. national security policy. and specifically, u.s. national security policy and the greater middle east. for people for whom that is an important issue, who want to see change in u.s. policy, she is not going to be the vehicle for change. juan: you are a veteran of vietnam. after vietnam, the united states -- rid of its citizen or it's drafting of soldiers into the military, and created a volunteer army. you have been a critic of that. why? >> i think one of the unintended consequences of ending the draft, creating professional milita
