These are the two necessary conditions for the United States to be "at war":

1) The Congress authorizes and directs the President of the United States to use his position as Commander in Chief of the Army and the Navy to wage war, and,

2) In order to bring the war to a successful conclusion, the Congress pledges all the resources of the country.

The last time this happened was December 8, 1941 and the directions/pledges expired in 1945.

So, we weren’t at war with the islamo nazis and the left are not at war with the U.S.

Good to know /s We need to wait for Congress to tell us when we’re under attack. Why do we need a commander in chief? \rhet
