be another war or not. He may elect to not start one, but he has little to do or say about being brought into one.
If the US troops were so woefully prepared or rested or not or what ever....could be a very appealing time to our adversaries around the world to drag us into a conflict.
Just Like I do not believe one can pause a war while deciding how to fight it...I also believe the military of this country is better prepared and capable on an ongoing basis than the media would have most believe....at least today. If we fail to invest in our military might time will take it's toll.

While all wars we are involved in are ours to fight....they may not be ours to start!!!
Hence they CAN occur on any POTUS' watch.
