That is why the official DOD term is ‘contingency operation’ and the DOS official term is ‘conflict’ we and pretty much nobody else officially declares war today. To messy to end with negotiations and all the odds and ends. After the Viet Nam accord of 1973 I heard more than one career officer say that that was the last negotiated end to a conflict the US was ever likely to do.

Don’t forget “kinetic military operation”. That’s what Obama and Hillary called their intervention in Libya. Oddly enough, I cannot find that phrase anywhere in the Constitution.
