In brief, the executive branch can't fund proxy wars because of the Boland Act. We put this in place in the 1980s notoriously giving rise to the Iran Contra scandal.
Programmer says we should take another look at this in our age of pointing out how political correctness compromises our interests. We're never going to declare another war, we can't put boots on the ground.
Until the first Terminator T-800s come off the line, should we reverse the Boland, and allow our State Department to start up militias wherever needed?
