Because some people don't do their homework before they answer a question. The people that don't consider it a war probably believe the American Civil War (aka US Civil War) was a real war; when in fact neither the Civil War nor the Vietnam War were declared wars.

Many people (who haven't completed their studies in history) believe that if a war isn't declared, then it isn't a war. If that's the case...then the American Civil War wasn't a war either!

And lastly, if that's the case, then there hasn't been a war fought by the US since December 11, 1945...because that's the last time the US ever declared war on another nation.

the American civil war and Vietnam were not wars because there was no declaration of war, therefore making it a conflict
