Man, the government has actually got you to buy the story that only they can tell you WHAT A WAR IS? Do you realise how ridiculous that whole idea is. "It isn't a war unless Congress declares a war.". Ok, so what SHOULD we call this thing where we send our army overseas to attack and occupy a foreign country, and in which we deploy our navy and air force to bombard their territory?
Don't answer that--instead take whatevee logic you were going to apply to your argument and apply it to anything else. Global warming? 'Actually, there is no global warming unless Congress declares the globe warmer.' An economic crisis? 'Actually, Congress never passed a resolution that there was a crisis.' September? 'Actually, Congress still hasn't declared that August is over yet.'. Maybe some things, especially the extremely obvious thhings, we can call on our own without congressional help.
