Have you taken your drugs today?

Really, an amendment that says our armed forces can only be used for defense is the worst thing you could ever propose. What about when Russia gets pissed off and nukes Poland and starts a war. "Well I'm sorry, folks, the constitution says I can't help out NATO.  You are dangerously misinformed about how the world works and it's distressing that people can think like you do.

Why do we care if Russia nukes poland?



I'd choose to say that the United States may only enter an ARMED CONFLICT upon a majority vote in both the house and senate.


I'm tired of these conflicts which are basically wars where war is never declared.  Declare war or don't go at all.

Because we know they didn't do it for fun.  If Russia were to come west we have an interest in keeping Europe free. Just as we have an interest in seeing the Pacific Rim out of China's control.
