Improvise. Adapt. Go.

This week on the Carry On Podcast, Brad breaks down a hard truth:

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 was designed to prevent another Vietnam.
Instead, it became a manual for executive maneuvering.

From Lebanon to Kosovo…
From Iraq to Libya…
From ISIS to Iran…

Presidents of both parties have learned how to:

• Avoid the word “hostilities”
• Stretch old authorizations
• Convert funding into consent
• Use coalition cover
• Pause conflicts to stop the clock
• Classify the threat and move anyway

This episode walks through 50 years of precedent and explains how constitutional war-making quietly drifted into permanent discretionary force.

We also examine:

• Russia’s co-orbital anti-satellite maneuvering
• The gray-zone fight in space
• And the Marine Corps’ new powered paraglider capability — a strange but smart adaptation for contested littoral warfare

This isn’t partisan.

It’s institutional.

If war powers matter — this conversation matters.

Stay informed. Stay grounded. Stay frosty.
