He’s right.

The question is: why?

We have lost God knows how many men and women in combat since the end of World War II. Yet we have not been at war since 2 September 1945. We haven’t declared war on anyone since 8 December 1941.

WTF?

It was not legally required, but it would have stopped most of the crap at home.

"The question is: why?"

We dont want to be called "Unilateralists", so we dont declare war, we have a military action as being a part of a "Coalition" of nations. IMHO.

Actually the last time we declared war was on June 5 1942 against Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria.
