What action would you take in Congress? If a war powers resolution directing the removal of U.S. forces from hostilities against Iran came before the House, would you vote for it? As the first Command Master Chief and the first enlisted submariner to ever be a nominee for federal office, I have, by definition, a unique view. The war must end; it was unconstitutional from day one. The President used the word "war" to describe military actions on day one. Presidents wage war; they do not declare war. Immediately after taking office, I will move to invoke the war powers resolution. Since the tail end of my service, we began shifting to a much more cavalier attitude towards using military force. 1- Unless it is a clear, imminent threat to America, NO WAR 2-Unless we are willing to go all in, including boots on the ground, NO WAR 3-NO WAR unless it is approved by Americans through Congress. We may quote your response in an upcoming Dispute Index piece on the Iran war.
