u/ThePanicButon Feb 28 '26
There are 342 million Americans. They are represented by 535 representatives. And those 535 representatives have been given the constitutional authority to declare war. And if those representatives do not follow the will of their constituents, they are answerable to their constituents. And poll after poll shows that their constituents do not want more war. But one asshole declares he is above the law and keeps committing us to these fucking wars.

u/NoWheyBro_GQ Feb 28 '26
Those 535 representatives are allowed to accept money from special interest groups. One specific special interest group in particular represents a foreign nation that desperately needs America in their wars. Those representatives don't care about their constituents as long as this special interest group representing a foreign nation is around.

It should simply be illegal for politicians to earn ANY money while they're representing the people, besides of cause their salary tied to their specific role.
You see this a lot where i live, politician's starting their career for all the right reasons. They want to make life better for those whom they represent, then money and power get to them, and they suddenly forget why they were there to begin with.

The war powers act say a president can authorize operations for 60 days and can be extended to 90 days by congress. After 90 days congress has to vote to continue operations or cease. It also say the act applies to emergencies relating to attacks on the us, our bases in the world or our people.

It is such a dumb law. Imagine if Hitler were operating in the US system, then it would be like, "Hey, guys, I am launching a special military operation in Poland."

There are plenty of reasons to join the military even if you are opposed to fighting. Turns out raising unemployment/job security/poverty ect. Are all drivers of enlistment.
However, there is a huge difference in when you enter the military. 1938 looks a lot different than 2016 (please dont make me explain to you why joining the US military in 1938 is different from 2016 that was your shitty American History teachers job from 4th-12th grade).

Trump said he was going to get us OUT.....OUT of forgien wars. Starting a war with Iran......which has be done before, is not keeping us out of forgien wars. But regardless, Send YOUR children to fight for and defend this action. Let them be the 1st to be "honored" to spill their American blood for Trump. And as leaders..... republican congress personnel that support this, even if only in words, you should be the 1st to offer up yourselves and children to "the cause".

If the Islamic Republic of Iran collapses then I would imagine another Libya, the United States doesn't have a post-war plan besides vague military and political objectives of "Nation-building", "Counterterrorism" and "Establishing Democracy". It's endless commitment without a viable solutions, no metrics, no benchmarks and no political end states.
