    No more micromanaging military operations. Insane if something like this literally needed presidential approval in the past.

    Graham entertained the crowd with a story about an early-morning phone call with Trump during which the President relayed a conversation he’d had with Defense Secretary James Mattis.

    “We’re asking permission to send 50 of our soldiers into a village outside Raqqa,” Mattis told Trump, according to Graham. “Why are you calling me?” Trump replied. “I don’t know where this village is at.” Mattis told him, “Well, that’s what we’ve done for the last 8 years.”

    Trump, Graham said, then asked, “Who’s asking to go into that village?” Mattis told him, “A major, first in his class at West Point.”

    “’Why do you think I know more about that than he does?’” Graham said Trump asked. “And then he hung up.”

    Am I missing something or shouldn't the President have a say in adding troops to missions or have details of when missions change? If the number is adding 500 troops then should he be consulted for an OK? Or 5,000?
