   No I understood the context.  There is a difference between pointing out   
   someone is a warhawk and what Trump said.  Observe:   
      
   "Liz Cheney is a warhawk.  She might feel differently if she herself had ever   
   been involved in a live combat situation."   
      
   "Liz Cheney is a warhawk.  She should have 9 barrels shooting at her to see   
   how she feels about it."   
      
   Both quotes get the point across.  Only one is excessively violent... and   
   oddly specific.

   Not if you read the entire article.  It gave the context of his quote.   
      
   Now that I look back, I included the context in my message re: he was   
   talking about Liz being a war hawk.

   You are missing the point.
