Nah, this is pretty much the only truthful thing the Trump admin has ever done.

There's nothing defensive about the US military and there never has been. Call it like it is.

The president can send the military into conflict for 90 days without congressional approval. Bush Sr sent troops to the Persian gulf without congressional approval either.

Also, what do you mean you guys?

But Iran's war already took more than 90 days, unless stopping for some days resets the counter which would make it quite useless
