Try not to get caught up in that debate. Nearly all people (scholars, instructors, teachers, historians, students, etc.) seem to forget that the American Civil War (US Civil War) was an "undeclared war" also.

And nearly all those same people don't realize (or don't care) that the US hasn't fought a declared war since WWII. So an "undeclared" war doesn't really mean alot anymore...were still fighting them...undeclared or not. So why bring it up? Unless as mentioned above, people WRONGLY believe Vietnam was the only one, which it wasn't.

Bottom line: People that mention "undeclared" war in Vietnam aren't informed people so why debate the subject.

The Viet War was fought to preserve the RVN and stop communist aggression; LBJ said it many times on nation wide TV in the 1960s. So simple, some people have trouble understanding it.
