Article I, Section 8 and Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution states that the president "shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy" and that the congress must raise and provide funding for the military. presidents and members of the congress take a oath to "preserve, protect and defend" that Constitution. so..... voting for U.S. politicians who are sworn to support the war-making apparatus just means y're agreeing with the idee that it is morally sound to pay soldiers to kill folk, foreign or domestic, who be disliked by U.S. govt. voting assures that the USoA will continue to be the world's most war - prone State -- a military monster. so..... it's difficult to withdraw/withhold consent if y keeps on giving it, neh? cloud cuckoo land, if y aks me -- even though nobody did. old goat "The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple" --Oscar Wilde ÐÏࡱá
