No, it is officially termed the "Vietnam Conflict."
Answer
The US president went to war using his "constitutional discretion" calling ti a "police action".
Correct, Only Congress can draw up the Article of War. In the Archives of the DOD Vietnam is listed as "an armed conflict" Since Congress never drew up such article of war Vietnam was only by Definition an conflict. Only congress has this power as a means of checks and balances. Yes the President can do such action as mobilize military into an area of conflict but for "WAR" to be declared Congress is the only one who can draw up such an article.
