The recent deaths of 4 US Army Special Forces Soldiers in Niger have prompted questioning, some legitimate and some merely political posturing. Two articles, one in The American Conservative (What Are US forces Doing in Niger Anyway?) and the other in Politico (Niger Attack Fuels New Push for War Vote) ask two very cogent questions: "Why are we there?" and "What is Congress' role?"
The purpose of this article isn't to focus on the hypocrisy of these questions coming at this time. However, I would be remiss if I failed to point out that this particular mission originated under the previous administration. During Obama’s tenure, there appeared to be very little pushback (except perhaps from Rand Paul) about Congress' role and authority to authorize foreign military adventures. Rather, the effort from Congress appeared to encourage such (I'm talking to you, Senator/Captain McCain).The Comment section of online publications is the new front in the ongoing Cancel Culture Battle.
