Iâm not sure democracy arguments work that well for military stuff. The people who military actions are going to be deployed against are extremely obvious stakeholders, but they get no input into any feasible âdemocraticâ process that determines what the US military does, and procedural democracy is compatible with the US doing literally anything to non-citizens to advance US interests. Given that, attempting to restrain the US military in ways that are legal and non-deceptive doesnât seem that procedurally dubious to me.
