I’m going to agree with Kerry, but I can’t imagine Kerry stating why this is not a war: Our opponent is a gang of terrorists, not an army. Armies wear uniforms. The Russian separatists are an army; that is a war.

The new concept of "victory" is an "unbelievably small strike" in an "overseas contingency" involving Islamist extremists that "are not Islamic" where there is "no victor and no vanquished".

This description is also in the Urban Dictionary as another definition of "Cluster F#ck".

CAUTION: Quoting Kerry and Barry is considered a 'vicious personal attack' in modern punditry.

Q. When is a war not a war?A.

For America anytime its military is used after World War II.
We have not fought a war since then. Oh we have used the military but we limited their actions, held them back, handcuffed them, gave then silly and senseless rules of engagement etc..

The War Department has been the Department of Defense for a while now, and we haven’t declared war in the same constitutional way as we did in WWII, since.
