At the risk of "but Obama"-ing, he sent the US military into Yemen, Libya, Pakistan, Uganda, Syria, Jordan and Turkey (because of Syria), did drone strikes in Somalia, ships in the Straight of Hormuz, and did a 30,000 troop surge in Afghanistan.
The Right/Left line on military use has kind of been blurred. Hillary Clinton's line of "we came, we saw, he died" on the US intervention in Libya is a pretty indisputable bit. Lol

All that said, John Bolton is a whole different category. If anyone is going to drag the US into a full fledged war with another country, it's going to be Bolton. Wouldn't mind at all if he was no longer in any kind of position of power.
I didn't say their perceptions were right!
