"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left
to irresponsible action."
— George Washington
"At the next war, let all the Kaisers, Presidents, generals and diplomats go into a big field and fight it out first among themselves."
— 'All Quiet on the Western Front'
What is the purpose of FESA?
Getting FESA amended to the Constitution will accomplish two things. With their own family members' lives potentially on the line, our public servants
will be especially careful when deciding whether the country should go to war. Second, if the United States does end up embroiled in a serious military
conflict, our troops would quickly get the tools they need (such as the IED-resistant patrol vehicles whose absence in Iraq has contributed to the deaths
of more than 1,500 U.S. soldiers and Marines). After all, Congress and the President would do everything in their power to keep their
loved-ones-in-uniform from harm.
