What is the threshold today to warrant unrestricted, total war? In WWII it was Pearl Harbor and 3,000 deaths. WTC as about the same and all that go was us invading Iraq, which had nothing to do with it. We ignored Saudi Arabia and are now mired in Afghanistan to Syria.

Surely the line in the sand is something short of a nuke attack? We've waited too long if that is the line.

Today any formal declaration of war would require the US use thermonuclear weapons against the enemy. Limiting our weapons to anything less would be an act of treason by the President, Congress or any military person who ordered that.
