So a formal Congressional Declaration of War would make it all better for you? Is this what it comes down to in your mind?

Yes. Because then the constitution would be at least respected. And Congress would have had to debate and discuss the necessity for war and have declared war against a nation rather than an idea.

It may come as a shock to you but the constitution is important to me.

OK fair enough. But you are a corporeal example of why an uninformed sterile layperson's armchair application of constitutional law is a total dead end. I also think you are being disingenuous, because your alienation from the application of force here goes far beyond constitutional niceties. But each can judge that for themselves.
