In order to prosecute war, you have to take some risk.
From Ryan Zinke
Putin drops bombs. We drop leaflets.
We often fight wars with our young.
Congress has the constitutional responsibility to control the power of the 'purse'.
What works in Washington, D.C. or New York City oftentimes doesn't work out in Billings, Montana, or elsewhere in the country.
I'm proud of Congress as a body. At the end of the day, we're the people's house, and we should be very mindful that we represent the people.
If ISIS strikes, it's going to strike Americans - not Republicans or Democrats. This is not partisan politics.
Under our rules of engagement, if I were ISIS, what I would do is collocate my headquarters next to a school or a hospital and ensure that there would be collateral damage. They know our rules of engagement as well as we do. They operate with impunity.
I would be in support of giving the military commanders more latitude in their rules of engagement rather than be restricted to the point we're tying someone's hands behind their back.
I've been to war, and I know the consequences and sacrifice it takes. If we must fight, we fight to win.
