Having a US senator that was an Abu Ghraib (the US torture camp in Iraq) prison guard, seems incredibly on brand.

He was a guard at Abu Ghraib even after the torture and human rights violations were exposed.

Still don’t get Nazi vibes from him.

Small wars are pretty enjoyable.

Just a lot of killing civilians in the globe south for this guy.

A soldier, trained for warfare, and enjoying it is quite disturbing for people who never encounter it. I'm disturbed by it. That said, I'm not seeing anything about enjoying bloodshed there. He says he likes small wars because he feels there's less inhumane brutality.

Is your problem that a soldier enjoys what they do? That makes them a Nazi?

I feel like your comment about killing civilians in the global south is making a big assumption that isn't even really hinted at. In fact the opposite, as he talks about working with the local community.

Let me know when he expresses any intent about decreasing US militarism/imperialism.
