Against another "NATION" (Country) yes. America's longest war was the "Indian Wars" which lasted from 1622 (James River Settlements) to 1890 (Battle of Wounded Knee).
US military policy and civilian protests.

Thinking of excuses to avoid being inducted into the military.
The Revolutionary War was the longest at about 8 years. It is important to note that we have not actually been at war since 1945. Our Congress doesn't declare war any longer, though it is believed that they still do have the sole power to do so, according to the Constitution. The longest military fighting would be the collective battles and massacres of the Native Americans, which started before our nation was a nation, and ended towards the end of the 19th century, which would have it at a century, at least. The longest military fighting against a specific people in a consistent and enduring fashion was the Vietnam conflict at anywhere from 12 to 16 years depending upon how one classifies "hostilities" and "military involvement".
The US is NOT at war with Iraq. The US was at war with North Vietnam.
Yes.

Certainly. A war is determined explicitly by the presence of conflict. If there was not conflict in Vietnam, there would not have been a war.
If the insertion of 16,000 advisors by US president Kennedy by 1963, then the Vietnam War was the longest war in US history. Opinions differ as to when the Vietnam War actually started.Generally speaking the wars fought against Native Americans by the US are not categorized as "wars" . By example, the conflicts of the British in British Canada against Native Canadian Tribes are also not considered wars.
No. Congress never actually declared war. It is officially a CONFLICT, bu if you ask someone who was there, it was a war.
The Vietnam War=the military draft!
A military officer that fought in the Vietnam War. A Vietnam War soldier would be a "soldier that fought in the Vietnam War.
