I am very much aware of the War Powers Act and firmly support the process. I honestly believe our military should NOT be involved in military conflict w/o the approval of Congress.
I believe at this point, Obama could get our military into an escalated war in Syria causing war against Russia and Congress would do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. We would then be in war without congressional approval.
I am absolutely opposed to this scenario.

"Obama," "Obama..." Fallacy. Very few are really oblivious to the obvious situation, and tactical plans are made by generals.

Socialist political class folks in both political parties want every dime to go to their civilian government incomes rather than defense. They have no concern for future consequences of their actions or the security of our American people.
