War requires a declaration of such by Congress. No such declaration has occured since 1942. It isn't a war otherwise.
Every single time we have deployed troops into an active combat situation since 1945, they have had their hands tied under ROE's that don't allow them to wage war. When 3 members of the military are courtmartialed because a killer of 4 US civilians gets a bloody lip, the ROE's are not warfighting - they are nannyisms.
War is what war does? By that arguement alone no conflict since WW2 has been a war - since no conflict has been fought with the pure intent to wreak maximum destruction upon the enemy wherever we may find him.
