2022 MO Senate race: on War & Peace


Eric Greitens: Jewish education inspired him to serve in Bosnia

At B'nai El I was influenced by a number of Holocaust survivors who were brought in to talk with the [religious school] class. In 1994, I was 20 years old, I went to Bosnia and lived in refugee camps and worked there with unaccompanied children. These were kids who were separated from their parents or whose parents had died during the war. I don't think I would have been inspired to go to Bosnia without the Jewish education that I received and a number of the teachers I had.

Lucas Kunce: Intervene for self-defense, and then we need to leave

I believe that we should intervene when we have a self-defense moment, and we need to protect ourselves. And we need to accomplish that mission immediately, and then we need to leave. And I don't believe in this, you know, this doctrine of like "preemptive self-defense" where we invade Iraq because they might have weapons of mass destruction someday.
