16. They explained this on Democracy Now!
The government is doing an end-around on Congress. The Pentagon apparently can send their troops wherever they feel like it, without anybody's say-so.

These are "special operations units." They may not even look like regular soldiers. They can travel in disguise and nobody is the wiser.

A similar situation happened in Vietnam. It began when the American public was told we were sending "advisors" to Vietnam. Next thing you know, full-fledged war.
