45. That is why some people today conflate liberal with anti-war.
Historically, most of our wars were started by Liberals. Conservatives were isolationist.
During Vietnam, most Liberals fully supported the war. But they also supported the rights of others to oppose the war. Conservatives called Liberals anti-American for supporting those rights. And today a lot of people who do not know their history have gotten the idea that pacifism is a liberal concept when it is actually quite a conservative concept.
