Jesse Ventura: The Major Casualties of War Are Always Innocent Civilians

J. David Scott from Ontario, Canada asks: Jesse...Any chance I could convince you to become a Canadian and straighten out the clowns running this country?

Jesse Says:

No, it’s too cold up there. I left Minnesota, why would I go to Canada? That’s too far north. Ha!

Ronald Cavalier from Ohio writes: The bombing of the MSF Hospital in Afghan was no accident because the doctors treat all sides of the war. Your thoughts on this?

Jesse Says:

There’s where we need another investigation right now. It’s a reminder to the public that when we go to war, the major casualties are always civilian. So all those people out there that support war need to remember that the civilians are usually the ones that die the most.

This is a prime example of it. Shameful.

Terry McPhink fromSouth Dakota writes: What are your thoughts on Ben Carson?

Jesse Says:

I’m not paying attention to the Republicans that much.

I respect him as a medical doctor but I also question him, because he seems to lack any scientific position. You would think that someone who has worked in medicine would be more respectful of science and believe in it more.

Mark Lukic from New York asks: Hypothetically, if your son wanted to join the military during this time of perennial war, would you support his choice? Or would you try and convince him not to join?

Jesse Says:

I would try to convince him not to join.

My definition of a just war is this; a war is justified if you’re willing to send your kids to fight it. I’m not willing to send my kid to the Middle East. I would try to talk him out of it.
