Sure, but we've been at war now for 19 years or so at least (2001, possibly longer). If the time of war is every single day, then there is no time of war and the government is just using that as an excuse to justify its inhumanity. In fact, if you want to name years we haven't been at war since WWII, you're not going to get many years. But I see what you're getting at: when we're at war, the constitution is suspended. I just go a tiny step further and say the constitution has been permanently suspended. There is no difference between those positions currently, considering we are in a permanent state of war and have been so for almost two decades.
