re: Are you saying Congress should authorized war instead of approving it?

The US Constitution:

The Congress shall have power to... declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water;

To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years

Actually I'm saying they should get some balls and not allow the country to go to war without a declaration of war.

The Congress authorizing war, with the consequent death and injury of our soldiers is not a "silly word game".

Are you saying Congress should authorized war instead of approving it?

Congress is the only federal governing body that has the authority to declare war on another country. Vietnam, Bosnia, Iraq are wars that were not declared and violated the Constitution. Its one of the checks against the executive branch.
