Wars -- the U.S. has fought a bunch of 'em.
As Congress mulls yet another Authorization for the Use of Military Force -- this time against ISIL -- it's worth it to place this decision in a bit of context. Since our inception, for one reason or another, we have been involved in armed conflict almost continuously -- despite having only formally declared war 11 times, in five different wars. Are we militaristic by nature? Do notions of war and nationalism obscure our political debate? Should we go to war against ISIL? Abe and Joe take your calls.
