I don't know where I read it, but Trump isn't allowing the military to declare war. He is giving commanders authority to act in emergencies. Like if something that happened in Bengazi happens again, the Marines can do their job and defend our ambassadors.

I believe that word means acting alone.
So giving the military the permission to basically on their own accord start war? If that is what it means that doesn't sound right....

unilaterally = one ladder


Some people like to have lots of ladders, but sometimes in complicated international affairs things need to be done with only one ladder.

Also, some ladders are taller than other ladders.
It all gets very complicated.

That's it Utah. Our Military has had their hands tied behind their back for to long.

Bengazi would have been reported," The terrorists are dead and everybody is safe." If our military could FINISH what was started.

Only Congress can declare war against another nation. Unless Congress has declared war, the president has limited engagement powers, and must report actions and justification to Congress within (I believe 90 days). Any further action must be approved by Congress.

In a wartime stance, action should be taken by the commander on the scene unless it is negated by a higher command. Otherwise, any action taken must be approved by a higher command. Since the US is not in a declared war, all actions must be approved by a higher command (Top down) and are usually approved by POTUS. This is why it is imperative that Congress declare war on ISIS. This would allow the commanders in the field to take action without clearing every shot with Washington.

Never been in a fire fight with your hands politically tied, have you? Trust me, few sensible men ever wait for official orders to go ahead and save their own lives. LOL
