| 2. Congress never declared war so technically it wasn't a war, just |
|
military action. The current mess is in the same state. Congress gave * the OK, but the Consitution says on congress can declare war.
The question may be how many soldiers die to make a war? I believe Golf War 1 was never declared by congress either.
