I hope this is sufficient, please let me know if you need additional info. Answer to question: Yes, and I would urge the Armed Services Committee to work with the Executive Branch to try and resolve this conflict to bring our troops home to their families.
Why we used this label
The case tracks support for continued U.S. military operations against Iran, including whether a candidate would vote for a war powers resolution to remove U.S. forces from hostilities. Asked that question, Recile's campaign answers yes and says he would press to resolve the conflict and bring the troops home, which opposes continuing the operation, so we labeled it Condemned.
