"More of my friends talk about wanting to move to Dubai than serve their own country.
"Consistently, the elite class has stripped away all of the guardrails and sources of meaning that young people like me used to cling to —our national identity, our national culture, our strong families, our local identities. All of it is steadily being whittled away to make room for an incredibly hollow, vague, and meaningless celebration of universal ‘diversity’, a notion of diversity that celebrates any and every group in society except the one group that will soon be relied upon to defend and save our country from external threats —straight, white, working-class men.
"Liberal Boomers might be shocked to discover that so few Zoomer men, like me, are willing to fight and die for our country. But I am not. While the radical progressive elites who dominate the institutions tell themselves they are creating a society that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive, in reality they have created a society that is, as JD Vance said, falling apart from within —a society that is bitterly divided, filled with hate, riddled with a corrosive identity politics and two-tier justice, and rigged in favour of every and any minority group at the expense of young people like me from the British majority. So, no, Keir Starmer, if you ask me I won’t be heading off to fight and potentially die for Britain. Why should I? What, exactly, would I be fighting for?"

We're not being asked by the administration. How many young men will have to die? How many young men are we willing to sacrifice?
How much debt will our surviving children need to cover in years to come? Forbes is keeping track of those fiscal numbers. Within days of the assaults on Iran, the costs were staggering: $300 million for three F-15E jets downed by “friendly” fire. $630 million to transport troops, ships and aircraft to the region in advance of the attacks. More than 50,000 troops deployed to the region. $13 million a day just for two aircraft carriers stationed nearby. $43.8 million for 1,250 Kamikaze drones. $2 million each for Tomahawk missiles. $12.8 million each for anti-ballistic missile interceptors.
Forbes estimates that Trump’s military strikes in Iran have already cost American taxpayers over $1 billion, “with a price tag that could approach $100 billion, depending on how long it can stretch on.” The total economic cost of the conflict “could ...
We don't really know if there is a just cause for the Iran War. Confused military personnel do not know why they might die, or for whom they might die. Citizens don't know if their president is acting lawfully or in deadly bad faith and betrayal of his supporters and cabinet.
Under article I, section 8, of the Constitution, it is specifically provided that the Congress shall have the power to make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution, not only its own powers but also all other powers vested by the Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.
The Constitution limits and restrains the president from reckless conduct.
The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory ...
Mr. Trump loves the "high ratings" of a celebrity and election victories for his legacy. A clean and magnanimous victory over Iran might have provided that. But a two-year quagmire will destroy his legacy, his party, our military and much of the younger generation. And Valerie Jarret will be making policy in 2028.
If the President wanted good "optics" in this imprudent and dangerous war, he would have declared an epic victory immediately after the death of the Ayatollah, pulled American assets home, and arranged the equivalent of a ticker-tape parade for them.
But it has been two full days since the decapitation, and young American bodies are being placed in coffins.
