This...but let's expand it further. We shouldn't want wars even when Congress authorizes them unless it's in self defense (i.e. we are attacked by another clearly-identifiable nation on our shores.) Everything else is imperialism for power and resources.
The Constitution gives Congress the exclusive responsibility to declare war. The last time it did? 1941. Ever since, Congress has ceded this power to the President and it has cost us dearly. Support my resolution to end Presidential wars #HR922https://bit.ly/2oPQ8fi

It’s not the Deep State, nor the Steady State as references by the Anonymous author of the NY Times op-ed On Trump. It’s the Permanent War State.

Actually, 1942 (Hungary, Bulgaria, & Romania). But you’re right, the war powers were never meant to be in the hands of the executive branch.

Yes, quite right. Harry Truman got us involved in Korea and Lyndon Johnson got us involved in Vietnam. I’m sure you know they were both Democrats. Dems as well as Pubs have gotten us involved in unnecessary, costly wars
