This bill is exactly the opposite of an attempt to subvert the authority of the executive branch.
It is an attempt to rein in that branch as it has exceeded its authority.
Public criticism of the government is also a time-honored tradition.
The public has already dismissed any argument that criticism of our political or military leadership somehow disrespects or harms our troops as disingenuous at best. I would call it outright nonsense.
The war was, and remains, a tragic mistake. Our only recourse is to stop wasting lives and money and withdraw immediately.
