Since WWII all our wars have been by resolution, not a declaration of war as the constitution states should be the case. A declaration of war would mean putting the people on a war footing and all that entails. That doesn't have to be done with a resolution. In fact our governmental leaders have become very adept when we're at war to have the people live normal lives back here in the states as if no war was going on. Our leaders do an excellent job of keeping the American people insulated from war.

I found this interesting.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
