So do you think if she said flew xx combat bombing missions instead of bombed Al-Qaeda and the Taliban it would be acceptable to her potential voters? How about to a wider range of voters, like nationally?

We never argue, we discuss rationally and reasonably, carefully weighing the plus and minus points of each other proposals, attempting to arrive at a consensus acceptable to all parties, but most likely will agree to disagree, however probably with each party's views modified to incorporate good points from everyone contributions to the discussion.

PS, that's ex-felon.
