Stand up for those serving our country; demand a say in acts of war for congress

The US military has destroyed a fourth boat in international waters. The administration claims that the boat was heading from Venezuela to the US with drugs. That rationale does not justify the extrajudicial killing of people (even presumed criminals) in international waters. The killings appear to be unjustified and, hence, likely violate the Uniform Code of Military Justice and international law. Trump does not have the authority to order the extrajudicial killings of civilians. U.S. Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, said the Trump administration has failed to provide Congress with any credible justification or intelligence to justify its actions. “Every American should be alarmed that their president has decided he can wage secret wars against anyone he calls an enemy,” Reed said in a statement. Please stand up for the men and women currently serving our country and demand that congress have a say in these acts of war.
