Is Mr. Hudson aware that 55.2% of discretionary spending goes to the military? Does he have ANYTHING AT ALL to say about the majority of the budget he wants the job of voting on? Does he think 175 nations is the right number to have troops in? Does he want to continue the war in Afghanistan? Start one in Ukraine? Keep the drones shooting missiles into Yemen and Pakistan?

How would we know? Are we just supposed to not care? Why would anyone take a candidate seriously who has no comment on war-making, our top public program by far, other than he likes veterans? We're left flailing in the dark, resorting to the guess that if he likes veterans he wants to produce more of them. I won't vote for that
