Only your fantasy.
You *do* grasp that the Constitution SEPARATED the 'war making' (Congress) with the 'war executing' (Executive)?
I realize that the Neocons have all sorts of contrarian fantasies -- not to mention the USURPATIONS.
Here is the REALITY ....
NOTE:
AIS8C12
[Congress shall have Power] To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
The CONGRESS controls the 'military' through its legislated Rules .... when that SAME Congress deems it 'necessary' to 'deploy' those forces, they call the Executive 'into service' ...

"Considering that Congress alone is constitutionally invested with the power of changing our condition from peace to war, I have thought it my duty to await their authority for using force in any degree which could be avoided."
-- Thomas Jefferson, Message to Congress, 1805

You can know this because the neocons are outraged that he didn't. It is a recent practice, that we owe to the man Ralph Raico describes as the "poor halfwit Reagan."
