A War by Any Other Name

This article critiques U.S. military interventions and constitutional constraints by examining how language obscures the nature of American wars, positioning the piece as skeptical of executive power and military expansionism. The framing centers on how euphemisms enable unconstitutional action and serves as implicit critique of American foreign policy—a posture characteristic of libertarian-left skepticism toward state power, though Reason's general editorial stance mitigates harder left positioning.
