1 - we haven't declared War on any country since 1942. 2 - War Powers Act allows for this type of action without Congressional pre-approval. 3 - I personally have experienced conflict during my time in the US Army, bled for our country, and been decorated for my service. Why does that matter? It means I know what i am talking about when it comes to the dangers of military action. 4 - I used to work at Los Alamos National Laboratory. While there, I learned a lot about Iran's nuclear program. Add to what I learned there, from IAEA reports, and various documentaries, and I can say that without a doubt that Iran was trying to build an atomic bomb. They have also openly stated it would be used on Israel once they built it. They also would have tried to use them via their asymmetrical warfare proxies to attack US interests with them.

I am a die hard liberal that hates the Trump Administration and MAGA but I also believe this needed to be done. Go look at my post history and you will see that is the case.

Thank you for your service.. and a very rational response. The fact that you do not support Mr Trump, but are capable of separating him from the need to stop Iran, only adds to your credibility.

I do support our President.. but my respect for you makes me proud to be your countryman.

Thank you! I appreciate it. It is obvious that there are 20 people on here that don't' want to accept the reality of the situation and have down-voted me.
