This Man should be the President

[@peggyjohnson9223]

Our troops should be on our southern border, AND YES BRING THEM ALL HOME !

[@aaronbcole]

End the unconstitutional forever wars, Rand is a genius

I’m not American , but i loved what I’m hearing here, god bless America 🇺🇸 ❤

[@Soulessdeeds]

As a veteran of Iraq x3 tours. I went from being a believing in I was serving my country and defending it. After Iraq I see my country sending troops around the world as mercenaries. And in other situations I see my country deploying troops as Rome sent its legions to hold fast its grip on power. America is the new Rome and our troops are being used as projection of power in exchange for preferred trade with our allies. None of what we did in Iraq had anything to do with defending America and my friends and fellow soldiers died in a war that ended up being completely pointless. It's no wonder young people don't want to join the military these days. They have grown up watching what happened to myself and fellow soldiers in the last few decades.

Thank you Senator Rand Paul for enacting the War Powers Act!!!

[@lucyb7929]

Dr. Paul is a great patriot and knows what he is doing. I am happy he is still serving us!

[@irajt5667]

US Troops are currently Illegally in Syria. The Syrian government have not been invited or requested for them to be there. Well done Rand Paul for invoking this.

[@johnbeach9884]

The U.S. should have disbanded NATO, 32 years ago and have brought all troops and equipment home. If we had shown a degree of recognition to the dissolution of the USSR and the Warsaw Pact, at that time, the world would be a different place, today.

Great job Mr. Rand Paul keep standing for we the people.

[@marthagarst2629]

Thank you, Senator, for stating truth. I pray it will have the desired effect.

[@jdtravels5140]

Every American should ask, “Why are we in Syria?”

[@ralphgreenjr.2466]

I am a retired Army Vet with 30 years of service, I'm disabled. My son is a retired US Marine, he is disabled. My Grandson is in year 15, with 4 deployments, with the US Air Force. ENOUGH! Message to both parties and the President, NO MORE! It is time to stop being the word cops. Bring all the troops home and secure the damn southern border!

[@donmac8181]

We are living in a country run by idiots w/o sense --we are in danger from idiotic decisions ---sad! Good Job Sen Rand Paul.

[@thundershadow]

It's about time! I have not heard the War Powers Act mentioned in more than 10 years... Boy, we heard it a lot when I was growing up.

[@desireco]

This men deserves actual Nobel Piece prize....

[@menesesrakk1]
