I can assure you that what your military did to those peoples definely felt like war for them. Just because your military hadn't had any significant loses doesn't mean that the other side wasn't obliterated.

You completely missed my point. I said that the military and the citizens of the USA have acted like we were in a war in all these conflicts mentioned, but the fact remains our Congress never officially declared a war. Do you think that is significant?

Here we are still calling all these conflicts "wars" when the fact is they were not. Why do you think that is? I personally have no idea, and that is why I am asking.
