I agree. The insertion of laws and lawyers into every aspect of decision making is ruining this country. I believe that before any missile can be shot at insurgents or enemy soldiers that a military lawyer has to sign off on it. I think a good first step for reform in the military would be to place 9 out of 10 of the lawyers in the military to front-line active combat positions.
Not individual missiles Wmarshal but the war itself needs congressional NOT “united Nations” approval.
The truly insulting part of this whole Ordeal is If Obama wanted to launch a few strikes while the Libyan Rebels controlled most of Libya and Gaddafi’s military was mostly idle in their basis that is one thing.
But Obama didn’t launch strikes when the picking was easy and instead dithered around for weeks trying to get “united Nations” approval. If he had time to get “united Nations” approval then he also had time more then enough time to synonymously get congressional approval as well.
THAT is the whole underlining point here! The only reason any president is allowed to launch strikes at the spur of the moment is in situations in which he doesn’t have time to get congressional approval.
A presumption congress has most generously given him anyway, even thou it was demonstratively not the case.
But Obama did not even bother get Congressional approval, Obama did not even bother to get congressional authorization after 90 days! Instead in a display of ultimate contempt for whatever is left of our Constitution, his job, and Congress he continues to disregard the law.
If you ask me not only should Obama be impeached, more importantly the military Generals blindly carrying out his illegal orders should be tried and convicted of illegal action.(Yes The foot men are ultimately responsible for upholding their oath to uphold the Constitution.)
