The President does not have the power to declare war. Will whoever said this please read the Constitution for goodness sake! He was granted the power (unconstitutionally) by Congress to invade a country for 60 days and then the Congress must declare war to continue. The power Congress took to grant this power to the President is not a power the Constitution grants to Congress. Our present Congress is a mockery of Congress' of the past who actually took their oath of office to uphold the Constitution very seriously. Congress is one branch of the government and if they do not do their job as defined in the Constitution we lose all the checks and balances the founding fathers knew were so important to prevent tyranny. Anyway, apparently this statement means the president wants the Military to be in charge instead of the people. The people are the civil power. I know for a fact that the Illinois Constitution states: "The military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power". This is also true in the US Constitution and I strongly believe that any President of the United States must be well versed in the Constitution and how it was defined by the founding fathers or we will lose everything our ancestors worked so hard to obtain for the people of the United States of America. So many men and women of this country have given up their lives to protect our freedoms we cannot just let the Federal Government take them all away from us. We must all learn the Constitution and it's meaning. Education is the only way to save this country. Please take some time, read the Constitution, read the Federalist Papers, read the Law of Nations and understand what your inalienable rights are before they are all taken away.

Why doesn't modern day military wear middle aged armor?

Modern military forces do not wear medieval armor primarily due to advancements in technology and changes in combat dynamics. Contemporary warfare relies on agility, mobility, and the use of firearms, which render heavy armor impractical and restrictive. Additionally, modern protective gear, like body armor made from lightweight ballistic materials, provides better protection without sacrificing the mobility required in modern combat scenarios. This evolution reflects the need for soldiers to adapt to new threats and the nature of warfare.
