Sorry. I didn't vote for the man, and I don't like him, but it is unfortunately the way it has to be.
“I am sorry, but there is no more important function of command than the determination of when force is to be employed and when it is not. It is the function of the CINC to determine whether the use of force is in support of or contrary to the interests of a particular policy.”
Then I suggest you reread your Constitution. The President is the Commander in Chief but the Congress is given powers also.
“The Constitution distributes war powers among Congress and the President. Congress is authorized “To declare War, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;” “To raise and support Armies [and] provide and maintain a Navy;” furthermore “To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions” and “To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States;” finally “To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces.”
