That, my friend, is for the courts to sort out. I'm simply pointing out that there is a difference. You asked for for an example, there it is.
Whether a law is written in peacetime or wartime has no bearing on which "trumps" which. There are legal scholars on both sides making good points, that isn't one of them!
As far as being disingenuous, nope. I didn't say it was Eisenhower's war, just that he sent the first troops in. That's a fact. It's also a fact that Nixon got us out of it. As far as I'm concerned, it wasn't a Democrat's war or a Republican's war, it was a war that ALL Americans have had to deal with....just like our current war. No matter who sends the troops there, it's an AMERICAN war. I just like the facts to be straight, and TOT seems to like to play fast and loose with them.
I also don't like the suggestion that the lives lost under Eisenhower are somehow less important than the ones lost after that. Shame, shame, shame. Who is supporting the troops? Oh, that's right, the Republicans....as long as it's the current war, but not a so-called Democratic war? I support them no matter who sent them there.
