Peaceful? Clinton waged war on more countries than anyone since FDR
(Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Haiti, Albania, Serbia, and
Bosnia). During the decade of the '90s there was, on average, one
terrorist attack on the U.S. or U.S. interests abroad (1st WTC
bombing, USS Cole, embassy bombings, kidnapping of U.S. ambassadors,
etc.).


What did the DoD spend during Clinton?


Not enough. There was this "peace dividend" you see, in which massive
amounts of money were transferred from the DoD to various social programs.
