Rep. John Campbell (R) argues against the US engaging in another conflict that could potentially last for years.

Congressman John Campbell represents California's 45th district, which includes the communities of Irvine, Tustin, and Mission Viejo.

He told Take Two that, like many of his constituents, he's weary of engaging in another international conflict in the Middle East.

And while House leader John Boehner has urged his Republican colleagues to support an intervention, Campbell says his vote is independent and he may break from his party's leadership.
