On Foreign Affairs:
Amash supports decreased U.S. military spending to help balance the federal budget. He believes there is significant waste in the military spending of the U.S. Department of Defense.
He believes that only Congress has the power to declare war. He supports a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Amash joined 104 Democrats and 16 Republicans in voting against the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Amash called it “one of the most anti-liberty pieces of legislation of our lifetime”.
Amash has co-sponsored an amendment to the NDAA that would ban indefinite military detention and military trials so that all terror suspects arrested in the United States would be tried in civilian courts. He expressed concern that individuals charged with terrorism could be jailed for prolonged periods of time without ever being formally charged or brought to trial.
Amash is an idiot. He supports the Libtardian platform and not much else.
