Op-Ed: Navy Veteran And Author Calls Attacks On Iran “Reckless Overreach”
| The United States started dropping bombs on Iran Saturday in “major combat operations” joined by Israel. President Trump defended the attacks as aimed to take out Iran’s ballistic missile and nuclear programs. He also encouraged Iranians to “take over your government. One political expert and Navy veteran slammed the military action as dangerous and unconstitutional. Mike Bedenbaugh is a Navy veteran, historic preservationist, political commentator, and author of Reviving Our Republic. Grounded in lessons throughout American history, his book proposes 40 actionable reforms for making a US government that truly works for the people. As a community leader and podcast host, Mike empowers the average citizen to take action and Reviving Our Republic is a blueprint for addressing the most challenging issues facing America today. When asked about the latest attack Saturday on Iran by President Trump and Israel, he said: “War should be avoided at all costs. What happened to America first and stopping endless wars? This will start one and cost military lives. It’s reckless and destroys constitutional governance.”
Mike believes the Constitution should guide government decisions and can give insight on:
● Why this attack on Iran is dangerous and another massive abuse of power ● The risks this creates for America, its military personnel, and US citizens ● Why these actions are unconstitutional and the message it sends to congress ● How normalizing this executive branch overreach can erode a republic ● Understanding the historical catastrophes of causing international instability ● Why it’s the purpose of the Constitution to restrain reckless military decisions
