Obama told us he would end US wars, but somehow forgot this commitment. Aside from Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul, the current presidential candidates propose increasing US interventions.

These interventions typically (1) cause terrible harm, (2) create failed states, (3) spread militarism, (4) boost the military-industrial complex, and (5) undermine human rights in the US.

I am not a pacifist. Some situations require war. But if the president is predisposed to war, we will do it far too much.
