It would be helpful if Congress actually did declare war -- I'm thinking here of Yemen -- because then the Blob would see many of its Sherpas voted out of office; but not so helpful in the current media environment where a dove like Ro Khanna feels it necessary to praise U.S. weapons for peace. In this environment one can easily imagine this Congress declaring World War III.

Great! I've written and published about this topic after Vietnam made it hot, but this is a really good and useful piece of history that I had not yet fathomed. It's hardly minutiae and it's a pity the "mainstream media," left, center and right, will not be interested in it.
