And the Obama Administration has given itself a substantive limit by saying although the president can use military force without congress, that force cannot announce whats been war. What a war versus use of military force is a very fuzzy definition. The bombing in libya was determined not to be a military force. Not enough to war. Without giving the president unchecked power to engage in military force. The president can act independently without congress up until it engages in a war theres a variety of other problems in that including the International Definition of war means essentially that would be every action almost no declared wars anymore. Thats one way in which the administration has tried to do the power it claimed for itself.

And going off what ken said just about a refusal to understand, i think thats a really important word and a word i kept running into over and over again when i was reading about ptsd and learning more about its history. And its pretty much a history of our refusal to accept many things; capacity for violence, capacity for evil, our willingness to understand difficult circumstances, the fact that war can be, you know, purposeless at times. The symbolic value and the glory we give to it might not be, you know, may not fully follow through for homecoming always. And how to make sense of that discrepancy.
