    All of our soldiers are risking their lives not because they believe in the reasons politicians made up for starting the war, but because they are ordered to, and they cannot easily disobey orders.

    I wonder if Trump would still think the war in Iran was a good idea if he was risking his own life the same way he is risking our soldiers’ lives. Or if that were the case, would he choose a less dangerous way to distract us from the Epstein files?

    I propose a constitutional amendment saying that the president could only unilaterally (without congress) begin a conflict like Trump did in Iran if he voluntarily gives up his own life. If it’s really that important that he needs to risk out soldiers’ lives, the president could prove it by giving up his own life.
