I just emailed my senators.

I call them Lamar and Marsha, but was a little more polite. I reminded them that the Senate can put some control over Trump and Bolton especially about Iran. I assured them that if they did not act, that the deaths of service men and women in or about Iran would be on them. I assured them I was quite serious.

but they don't. Now, if one of their children was likely to go into battle, they might oppose a war. Other than that, hey, each death of am American soldier just solidifies their voter base because there's nothing like the killing of young Americans in combat to galvanize and light up the "patriotism" of sappy Right-to-Life Trumpy voters.
