I thought there were no troops on the ground. That changed?

The AP is trying to give Obama selective distinction but the WPA specifically states “US Armed Forces”. That would include assets controlled by US Armed Forces like drones or missiles over Libyan air space.

I do not believe” military action” means that troops need to be in the field of battle, just that the military is involved in any action.
