It's about our Congress, because it is Congress, not the President who declares war.

It is also Congress who has to fix the beyond broken VA system before they declare war.
I actually stated a fact....the Clinton's have not had the military and it's veterans best interest at heart. Can you imagine the US telling another country...wait...we can't go to war yet we have to fix our broken system. Yeah. Like that is going to happen. haha!

Perhaps you didn't read the article or thread title because this

Quote:
Donald Trump says he would declare war on ISIS
That would need be a DECLARATION of War, Trump has said this is what he will do.

Where'd you find this fact? I'd love to see your sources.

Nobody declared war with Syria or Libya but yet, there we were. Destroying lives while continuing to ignore the broken system.

Congress hasn't declared war in 74 years. (The last time they declared war was WWII.) They will not do it now either. What will Trump do then?

ISIS has been aching for a ground war with the US for a long time. This bozo would give it to them.

Face it, Trump would be a disaster on the global scene. He's got countries already hating him (and us if he represents the US), the Defense Department is freaking out, even the war hawk nuts like Bolton and he will spark a war. Whether he officially starts it or not, he (or Donny Jr.) will be responsible for the war.

He and his kids running this country would be a disaster waiting to happen. Hope everyone with kids old enough to go to war think really hard about putting this stick of dynamite in office.

Again, this is about Trumps own words. He said he wants to declare war. It's the title of this thread.

And that's the last I'm saying about war because my point is about taking care of veterans.

Interesting how you've picked my post apart and completely ignored my other comments.

But that's okay because I'm used to the VA being broken and that fixing it isn't a priority to anyone.

Instead you'd rather spend time arguing about semantics at this point.

Ive never gotten such blowback from people who don't seem to give a **** about our veterans.

Actually declaring war would be an improvement.

I addressed the other part. I am NOT voting for Trump in large part because of his support for war. I think Bush and Obama should rot in hell for what they have done to the country.

Now....declaring war would be an improvement as you would have to come up with a justification that could be agreed upon.

That would be an improvement over "Im going to start dropping bombs on another country because I can".
