I'm no military strategist, but I disagree. If you're going to deploy


troops to engage in battle with the enemy, you can't have generals have to phone home to get presidential approval for actually engaging the enemy. The president and congress should decide when and where we wage war (as every president has done repeatedly and far too often, since eisenhower) and set the overall objective, but the president doesn't micromanage every individual decision to engage the enemy once the decision to commit troops and achieve a military objective has been made
