only one way to find out

2019-10-09 22:26:14 UTC  

You're saying we should leave the middle east; what will happen?

2019-10-09 22:26:25 UTC  

we'll just have to see what happens

2019-10-09 22:26:29 UTC  

in the meantime we can save money

2019-10-09 22:26:38 UTC  

Thats not a great way to convince people

2019-10-09 22:26:59 UTC  

they don't need to be convinced

2019-10-09 22:27:07 UTC  

they don't have a say in it

2019-10-09 22:27:16 UTC  

*Senate*

2019-10-09 22:27:17 UTC  

trump can pull the troops out on his own

2019-10-09 22:27:33 UTC  

Without congress approval?

2019-10-09 22:27:36 UTC  

yes

2019-10-09 22:27:50 UTC  

congress never approved them to be there in the first place

2019-10-09 22:27:57 UTC  

because it's not a war

2019-10-09 22:28:31 UTC  

trump has like full control over the military

2019-10-09 22:29:25 UTC  

the only thing that exists there is like a u.n. resolution or something

2019-10-09 22:30:16 UTC  

What do you mean by full control?

2019-10-09 22:30:33 UTC  

full control, they only answer to him

2019-10-09 22:30:35 UTC  

Clearly checks and balance are in the shit in this theory

2019-10-09 22:30:42 UTC  

NOO

2019-10-09 22:30:42 UTC  

not for the military

2019-10-09 22:31:03 UTC  

the president is considered commander in chief for a reason

2019-10-09 22:31:27 UTC  

The military main job is to defend the constitution

2019-10-09 22:31:34 UTC  

Not to serve the president

2019-10-09 22:31:51 UTC  

the constitution tells them to obey his orders

2019-10-09 22:31:59 UTC  

and sure, if he gave an unconstitutional order

2019-10-09 22:32:02 UTC  

they don't have to obey

2019-10-09 22:32:23 UTC  

but he has pretty much full latitude to tell them what to do

2019-10-09 22:32:29 UTC  

he can micromanage troops as much as he wants

2019-10-09 22:32:57 UTC  

Where does it say in the constitution, the military has to obey the commander in chief?

2019-10-09 22:34:32 UTC  

you must obey orders of your superior

2019-10-09 22:34:35 UTC  

that's how it works

2019-10-09 22:34:40 UTC  

he is the superior of all

2019-10-09 22:34:58 UTC  

befehl ist befehl

2019-10-09 22:35:35 UTC  

How do we end wars?

2019-10-09 22:35:50 UTC  

leave

2019-10-09 22:35:55 UTC  

it's not even a war

2019-10-09 22:36:01 UTC  

nobody declared war

2019-10-09 22:36:09 UTC  

we are just hanging out and shooting people

2019-10-09 22:36:48 UTC  

Do you need congress to say when we end war in the middle east?

2019-10-09 22:37:04 UTC  

no because there is no war in the middle east

2019-10-09 22:37:25 UTC  

What does war on terror mean to you?
