Tulsi Gabbard in Truthout.org political website

On Homeland Security: Don't cut military budget; fund weapons systems & ABMs

• She voted for 19 of 29 military spending bills in the past six years, and she has only a 51 percent Peace Action voting record. Many of the votes that Peace Action counted against her were votes to fully fund controversial new weapons systems, including nuclear-tipped cruise missiles (in 2014, 2015 and 2016); an 11th U.S. aircraft-carrier (in 2013 and 2015); and various parts of Obama's anti-ballistic missile program, which fueled the New Cold War and arms race she now decries.
• In 2016, she voted against an amendment to cut the military budget by just 1 percent.
• She is still in the military herself and embraces what she calls a "military mindset." She ended her CNN Town Hall by saying that being commander-in-chief is the most important part of being president.
• Gabbard still believes in a militarized approach to counterterrorism.

On War & Peace: No regime change in Iran; no war in Yemen

• She unequivocally states her opposition to U.S. "regime change" interventions, as well as the New Cold War and arms race with Russia, and supports rejoining the Iran nuclear deal. She was also an original cosponsor of Representative Khanna's Yemen War Powers bill.
• Gabbard voted at least twice (in 2015 and 2016) not to repeal the much-abused 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force, and she voted three times not to limit the use of Pentagon slush funds.
