"Otherwise, Leahy said, he will urge the Senate to choke off the war by refusing to fund it."
It is unbelievable that a U.S. Senator with any education and sense of history would say such a thing. To make it sound like such a course of action is not only acceptable but something he would promote is traitorous to the men and women who have born the burden.
If such a thing were to happen it would lead to unbelievable consequences. Doing such a thing could cause a real mutiny in the armed forces and there would be no one in the military to call on to put it down... It really could be the start of a dictatorship that ends this country as we know it... It is really that serious. Leahy has no idea what he is saying.

Actually, this is exactly the strategy that the Dem controlled Senate pulled in the latter months of Vietnam as their dispute with LBJ over various policies grew more bitter. The consequences for the troops then are the same as they are today - more men will die while the armchair quarterbacks in Washington play these deadly political games.

Leahy knows exactly what he is doing. This commie rightly believes that the US is the biggest obstacle to world socialism. On this, Leahy is an ally of radical Islam. Both are enemies of these United States.
