That's fucking hilarious, because Congress only has the Power of the Purse, based on the Fiscal Year for funding. They have ZERO Operational control. I've told the the Congress to fuck off many times when I was Active duty.
This one time a new Congressman from Texas named Louie Gohmert showed up to my base gate and demanded entry. It was an election year. He was in his convertible with his gf and mom. When my Airman turned him around he threw a walleyed fit (on video) then ran to mama. I told the Sergeant at Arms who followed up to pound sand and go back to reread the Congressional Delegation rules for entry to military installations during elections years…
