*But that is exactly what I was asking. What is your subjective opinion of
He Who Must Not Be Named statement? My opinion is that the statement was
nonsense. What is your opinion? I am not ashamed of my opinions so I'm not
afraid to state them even if I think they will be unpopular. What about
you? *

*The war powers act is a federal law, if it is outdated then according to
the constitution, Congress needs to change the law; but as of today
Congress has not done so, thus the law remains. But even Congress can't
give the President the right to declare war, that would require a
constitutional amendment; or at least it would if you wish to follow the
Constitution.  *

 *John Von Neumann and Alan Turing were not military men, they were
civilian scientists who, immediately after the war, were both instrumental
in making computers for civilian use. And both men were famous. Where are
the equivalent super geniuses that made your mythical military AI? Where
were they educated? Where are their scientific publications? If that
military AI exists and if it's as good as you claim it is then those super
geniuses must exist, so why can't anybody find the slightest trace of them?
Have they been cloistered since birth? *
