On C-SPAN's Washington Journal, VoteVets senior advisor Max Rose slammed the Trump administration for its "strategic incompetence," warning that their irresponsible approach has dragged us into an unconstitutional war with Iran, lacking both a plan for the aftermath and a clear way out.
There is a reason the Pentagon hasn't been releasing these numbers daily. The cost of Donald Trump's Iran War is bigger than they want you to believe.
Does ANYONE in the administration know what the hell the plan or goals are?
(Hint: No. The answer is no.)
Max Rose on MS NOW: Unlike the Iraq War's "Great Lie", Trump has spun 10 different lies in two weeks to justify his war with Iran. From ballistic missiles to "carpet bombing" for democracy, it's lie after lie, and even the MAGA base sees it.
Trump promised lower costs & a robust economy, but his Iran war is causing gas prices to spike while his policies, like the SAVE Act & VA cuts, are bad for our veterans & military families. We're paying the price for his broken promises. #TrumpsGasProblem
Our hearts are with the family & friends of Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, 26, lost March 8 in an Iranian attack at Prince Sultan AB. Those killed & wounded in Trump's War in Iran aren't just numbers. We remember who they were and all they gave to our nation.

VoteVets senior advisor Max Rose says troops in the Middle East are now in a combat zone and their lives are in danger because the president is waging war. By bypassing Congress, vital questions on defense weren't asked, and tragically, service members already lost their lives.
BREAKING: Democratic Veterans swore an oath to defend our nation, both when they signed up to serve and when they were sworn into office. Now, theyβre delivering on that Oath. The Constitution demands that Congress declares war, and thatβs what weβre fighting for today.
BREAKING: VoteVets is reminding the American people by highlighting Trumpβs own quotes on the RNC tonight. Spread this everywhere so all Americans see it.
Steve Pearce is unfit to lead the BLM. By advancing his nomination, Senate Republicans chose oil & gas interests over the public lands veterans rely on for health and livelihoods.
Veterans will remember this betrayal.
VOTEVETS SETS A RED LINE: Congress must stop ducking its constitutional duty. We expect all lawmakers to support the bipartisan War Powers resolution on Iran. We will hold Republicans AND Democrats accountable who do not.
Rep. Ro Khannaβs new column highlights the devastating domestic cost of a war with Iran. We can't afford spiking gas prices, higher inflation, or billions wasted overseas while ignoring jobs & healthcare at home. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution.
Here we go again. Regime change. But this time, not even a vote in Congress. We cannot let another president go Bush league and start an unauthorized, illegal, forever war. Congress must act to stop him.

Talk of ground troops in Iran isn't a tactical shift. It's regime change. Maj Gen (Ret.) Paul D. Eaton warns we are sleepwalking into Iraq 2.0. Occupation costs American lives, and Congress must stop dodging its constitutional duty.

Four Americans dead, and he's talking about his f$&%ing gilded ballroom.
IRAQ WAR GENERAL: "I was in Iraq... There will be an insurgency. Our troops will be much easier targets for extremists. Many will be killed in action or wounded. It will become more and more difficult to get out." - Major General (Ret.) Paul D. Eaton
Who voted for Iraq 2.0?
Siding with the Constitution isn't siding with Iran. Unlike monarchies, the people (through their representation voting) get a final say on waging war. Read up on the Constitutional Convention, Marc. Founding Fathers deliberately set it up that way.
On March 3, Senator Mark Kelly joins VoteVets for an exclusive briefing on Trump's war in Iran, attacks on veterans, and more.

How absolutely callous and cavalier from a guy who ran away from war claiming "bone spurs." We have three KIA. We have more wounded. All casualties. Not a word for the families. Just declaring it a "great deal" for the world.
Trump looked voters in the eye and promised he would keep us out of endless wars. He lied. Americans died because of it - he knows, and he's sending us to fight and die anyway.
In November, Trump and Republicans will find out what happens when you lie to the American people.
This is a lot of words that boil down to one thing. There is no strategy. There is no end goal. There is no plan. This is why there is a Constitution and why it requires a president to get Congressional authorization BEFORE going to war.
HEARTBROKEN: Trumpβs unconstitutional decision to bypass Congress has now cost American lives. VoteVets senior advisor Max Rose says Speaker Johnson and Sen. Thune must call Congress back TODAY to vote on war powers before more troops die.
Afghanistan Veteran Max Rose says war is unpredictable and risky, and puts US pilots and troops in danger. Iran has shown it can and will attack US bases. Iran is much larger than Iraq, making it necessary to put boots on the ground. With everything at stake, Congress cannot be a bystander!
VoteVets senior advisor Max Rose says Trump campaigned as the "Peace President" to stop forever wars. Now, he's launched a war of choice with Iran, dragging us into the exact kind of endless war he promised voters he'd never do.
