Peter Gilbert: 'For over 80 years, Congress has abdicated its constitutional role in sending Americans into combat. For over 80 years, members of Congress have refused to put their names on the lines when our military put their lives on the line.'
FILE - In this Dec. 30, 2020 file photo, people run following an explosion at the airport in Aden, Yemen, shortly after a plane carrying the newly formed Cabinet landed. In March, the United States Senate voted to repeal the 1991 and 2002 authorizations for the use of military force . If this passes the House, it will finally end the Iraq wars.
For over 80 years, Congress has abdicated its constitutional role in sending Americans into combat. For over 80 years, members of Congress have refused to put their names on the lines when our military put their lives on the line. The results are obvious. These never ending and unconstitutional endeavors are, and continue to be, disasters for our country. Our blood and treasure are spent without accountability.
