I'm not very familiar with Dole but I know Clinton was pretty mildly hawkish, though I'm not aware of foreign policy being a key theme in the boring '96 election at all.


I think Dole supported the Vietnam War and all of Nixon's, Reagan's, and Bush Sr.'s military escapades. Clinton was only a hawk when it came to the former Yugoslavia--his bombings of Iraq and especially Sudan and Afghanistan were way too small and limited. Thus, I'd say Dole was more hawkish.

Clinton was certainly more hawkish than Dole.

1968 -- they didn't call him the "Happy Warrior" for nothing. It was only in the waning days of the campaign season did he flip-flop, and then for entirely political purposes. Hubert Humphrey was a typical Cold Warrior through-and-through.

And Richard Nixon wasn't?
