The Commander-In-Chief has given “total authorization” to the military. |
This seems better than having a man-child making decisions to shoot or not, but does represent a fundamental dereliction of duty. There is a reason that tradition and the constitution assign the authority (and responsibility – that is the rub) to the President for control of the military.
Has anyone mentioned to the “commander” that responsibility is not absolved, despite any efforts at blame shifting? This tactic, increased military-industrial investment, and cuts to the State Department and USAID seem to indicate that the US and “America First” will face the world with military might, and not so much by providing assistance.
This is reckless and dangerous, and it is time for some leadership to emerge.
