U.S. reveals troops on the ground in Yemen

[merrily]

4. Please!

It's boots on the ground. Troops on the ground sounds more like actual flesh and blood is involved. We prefer to think of our invasions/occupations of other nations as footwear-driven.

BTW, are we still operating under the Bushco Era authorization to use military force of 2001, or have we updated it? I've lost track. If we are still under a fifteen year old authorization, aren't we defeating the reason that the Framers required a vote of Congress to declare war? Among other things, how do we hold people running for Congress accountable in November for a 15-year old vote? We have a Presidential election coming up and the candidates don't even have to mention their positions on that vote? Heck, soon that vote will be old enough to vote!

Fuck endless wars.
