Monday, on “All In with Chris Hayes,” MS NOW’s Chris Hayes spoke with Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) on the ongoing war in Iran.

CHRIS HAYES, MS NOW HOST:  Joining me now is Senator Ruben Gallego, Democrat of Arizona.  I’d like to hear more about your reaction to that line from Marco Rubio today, Mike Johnson and some others, that this was essentially out of her hands. And so, then we just kind of fell in line as a matter of course.  SEN. RUBEN GALLEGO (D-AZ):  I mean, I guess we’re not a world power anymore. I — you know, for me — I mean, look, I was in some pretty hard times during the war at a very young age. And it just — it just drove me mad, the fact that these guys just went to war on somebody else’s word. Nobody decided to say, hey, you know what? What is the best interest of the men and women of my country first?  Nobody decided to say, hey, you know what? What is the best interest of the men and women of my country first?  Nobody decided to go to and be like, guess what? Don’t go to war. If you go to war, we’re not giving you the intelligence. We’re not going to give you the support. We’re not going to give you the bombs — all these things you could have done.  Instead, you said, you know what? We’re going to go with you.  And I think that really pisses me off, to be honest — it’s like, I’m not that young. I remember Netanyahu coming to testify in Congress and advocating for us to invade Iraq, saying it was going to be a great result for the Middle East.  So, guess what? I’m seeing it again now. Again and again, men and women, young men and women, young American men and women are dying because of these idiots, right? These idiots that are just willing to sacrifice U.S. men, U.S. women, without any real thought about what they’re doing and what the consequences are going to — to bring to these families.  You know, it — you know, it’s just — I feel like — I feel like I’m repeating, you know, what I saw 20 years ago. I don’t really know what else to tell you.
