If you never declare war why do you call it a war?
Very good question! War is defined as a state of hostility, conflict, or antagonism, as well as a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between two states or nations. Technically, for the United States at least, a war is not considered a war unless it has been declared by congress. Hence, why we refer to the war in Vietnam as the "Vietnam Conflict". But regardless of congress officially declaring so or not, war is war.
