We like to use the term OOTW - Operations Other Than War. It sounds oh so much nicer.

I am sure that the people who end up shot/killed/maimed appreciate the difference.

If anyone is interested in what happens to our laws if we ever do declare a legal state of war, I can highly recommend the Congressional Research Service report.

Look for the 3/17/11 report.

You will be surprised at how much our laws change during war and not surprised why the congress is reluctant to declare war.

I use the CRS all the time in my job. It is a valuable service and their reports are clearly written and include the necessary background information. They are politically neutral and their research is top notch.

For reasons only known to the government, the Congressional Research Service, which is a division of the Library of Congress, uses the US Department of State website for publishing their reports.

This is a link well worth bookmarking. Pretty much any major issue has a CRS report written about it. It is one of my better sources.

I would love to work for CRS but they can't afford me.

If Rand wants war, then he can carry his arse over there and prosecute it.
ISIS/ISIL is not a recognized sovereign entity, It's a terrorist organization.
Send INTERPOL or The UN.
