Did you notice the word “forgoing”?

I am pretty sure that both Bush and Clinton got the OK. It is believed that Eisenhower "started" the war but the president is allowed to have a small amount of troops in a country for 90 days or something. Johnson was the one who escalated the war. It was approved by Congress and technically is wasn't exactly a war. They called it something else.

It was made this way purposefully. In times of warfair or disruption in peace, the government holds power to alter itself to promote the greater good. Of course, some of these wars, by popular opinion, have not exactly been for the greater good, but the government does hold the power to do what they feel is right, and if you disagree with their choices, you are free to voice your opinion to them, but you cannot take this right away, as it is in the Preamble and in the Elastic Clause ("necessary and proper clause").

They believe that the government is corrupted beyond what their vote can affect. They’ve lost respect for authority because it has just become a survival game. The code of the warrior has been lost to the bottom-line Capitalistic needs of our country.

an excellent statement
only a mere ~800 days early

When does the Individual End? Capitalism ruled by Ignorance?

At what point did social Justice
equate with the loss of liberty and erosion of the Constitution.

The constitution says that only congress can declare war. It does not say that war has to be declared everytime a conflict happens, nor does it specify what constitutes a declaration of war.

Ironic that someone quotes jefferson, since he sent US forces into conflict abroad without any declaration of war from Congress.

It seems pretty obvious in the age of the “war on terror” doesn’t it? I, like many others, can’t help but expect this to end up in yet another, undeclared, unconstitutional war. (see overviews of war powers and the constitution here, here and here) [...]

Quite frankly, I fail to see the “problem.” I read them, and read them again. These are no different from preparedness direcctives that have been commonplace since the birth of the nation. These fall in the same category as the preparation of “what if” scenarios for war against one nation or another, even includes Switzerland. However, there is a possibility that I missed something of importance. If you would care to point out and perhaps reproduce the specific portions that are causing you such apparent concerns, it will make it a lot easier for us to respond.
