Yes, we do need both attended to. We know our economy is certainly in danger with ANY major attack. There are many conserns I have, but National Security issues are top on my list.
The Wisconsis list of House members voting against our Military was really surprising to me. Looks like some Republican members followed others. Only 17 Republicans voted NO nation wide, with most from Wisconsin!

I wasn’t familiar with this amendment until you posted it—thanks.
My immediate thought, however, is that though this should of course be the norm, it really ought to be enforced through the military itself, rather than by the force of law. I can imagine certain highly sensitive operations where special ops forces, for example, must put themselves at risk in a fashion that this law might override.
Good intentions, but like most common sense put into law, it’s that 3% that over-legislating really mucks up.
