No need for approval for furthering Afghanistan, re-entering Iraq, or going to war with Iran. Which is what the hawks want. But they have a tiger by the tail in Trump. If they think Trump will listen to them, they're mistaken. He WILL listen to his military advisors, who have infiltrated the civilian White House staff.

Just a point: Most dictatorships are surrounded by the military and include them in their administrations.
