I respect Rand’s stance on things, even when they’re counter to mine, but at its face, the idea of this legislation is correct — presidents have wandered far astray of our constitution when it comes to war powers. It’s why we’re in a constant state of conflict around the world, and it costs our children’s lives for POSs who don’t give a whit about us.
But this particular effort was merely another “get Trump” move. Congress should get back to us when they’re serious about reigning this in...
‘Our children’ are safer in the US military even when it’s in Iraq or Afghanistan than they would be driving the streets in the US during the same time period.
This isn’t WW2 when FDR was throwing them human wave style by the thousands at formidably entrenched Germans and Japanese.... and it’s definitely not the US Civil War.
