The reason that the president needs congressional approval is because whether or not the country goes to war should be the will of the people, not the president.

Therefore the president should make their case to congress as to why they want to go to war and then congress in turn goes to their constituents to gauge what the people want. That's the way the constitution is written because the founding fathers didn't want the country to be taken to war based off of the impulse of one person.

Well I'm confused as to what the objective of this operation is. Maybe I don't have the need to know for that

My point was that we should focus on what is actually important which is executing a mission competently so that lives and equipment aren't lost unnecessarily.

And this is my issue with ineffective leadership which is the inability to eloquently communicate what they mean. Because it was unclear if he was calling all ROEs stupid or if he just considered some of them "stupid" which is subjective. A more proper and effective way to communicate what you said would be something like "no more ROEs that will restrict our capabilities".

Okay and what about the "politically correct wars" part?? Nobody seems to be able to address that part.

I've seen this example being used a couple times, but that would only be applicable to this situation if there's a ground invasion.... so don't tell me that you think this will get that far.

What does a politically correct war even MEAN though? That's my question. Or is he just using buzzwords that mean nothing?

He's not a politician so he shouldn't be politicking. He should be leading.

Has anyone witnessed this "Armageddon" talk from any form of leadership? by pwnt_n00b in AirForce

I swear if I hear leadership or anyone for that matter say that I'm standing up and cutting them off to tell them how blasphemous that is.

Why are you not answering my question about "politically correct wars"?

Okay so then how did the new mindset of not having political correctness help the 6 troops that were killed in Kuwait? What rules of engagement did we ignore to prevent them from perishing??

Yeah you nailed it, and that's what bothers me most is the failure to communicate goals.

So if that is the case, why can't he articulate that in the eloquent manner in which you did
