Declaring war and being at war aren't necessarily the same thing.

- rhino369 11y agoI'm being totally serious. I'm not at all convinced that the only way the United States is at war is when Congress declares it. Declarations of war are diplomatic in nature. There is even a theory that declarations of war are unnecessary after an act of war has already been undertaken. Like the USA running a bombing campaign on ISIS.
