Why do you need a declaration of war for a war that never ended?

If fat boy shoots first, there ain’t no need for congress to declare war.

Need to spend some time with your history books. The democrats declared this a ‘police action’. Truman decided he didn’t need a declaration of war. And he was backed up by the democrats in Congress. “If a burglar breaks into your house, you can shoot him without going down to the police station and getting permission,” Sen Tom Connally, D-TX.

Since the conflict was never resolved, it’s been an open action item since 1950.

There was no declaration of war for the first Korean War.
Or any war since World War II.

Why? Is anyone talking about going to war? We do not need a Congressional declaration of war every time a military action is advised.
