I'd say 1960.

Why 1996?

I'm not very familiar with Dole but I know Clinton was pretty mildly hawkish, though I'm not aware of foreign policy being a key theme in the boring '96 election at all.


I think Dole supported the Vietnam War and all of Nixon's, Reagan's, and Bush Sr.'s military escapades. Clinton was only a hawk when it came to the former Yugoslavia--his bombings of Iraq and especially Sudan and Afghanistan were way too small and limited. Thus, I'd say Dole was more hawkish.
