Our military is paid for by redistribution. Otherwise North Olympic peninsula residents would have to pay for all CG missions in the strait & ocean.
Did your father have a rescue helicopter & the skills to fly it? No? Thank redistribution. Of all the military services that's the only one that actually defends our country. And it's the least funded.. If the user should pay then corporations that benefit from our imperial wars should pay their costs.
There's a big difference between authorizing military force, which is not provided for under our constitution, & declaring war, which is required of congress by it.
What moral & spiritual code do you live by? Certainly not Jesus's. He said  to seek first the kingdom of God, & in that kingdom we're not man & woman, but one in the spirit. He taught us to pray that it be done on Earth as it is in heaven, and that when we pray to act as if our prayers have been answered. So act as if we are one.
