Re-read my comment. I never said we declared war. In fact, thats one of my issues with all this. We are committing acts of war, but congress hasn't declared war. Thats not how its supposed to be.
Just to be clear, I 100% support having the biggest baddest a$$ kicking military on the planet. But we should only deploy our military when someone actually messes with us. And I don't mean saying mean things or making threats or being mean to our friends. I mean attacks American soil, sinks our ships (if we aren't attacking them...) kills our people, or attempts any of the above. And when we do declare war, level any and everything that has any sort of ties to military operation, kill any and everyone that is fighting us, and erase their military infrastructure from the map. If they launch missiles from a mountain, I want to see a lake where the mountain *used* to be.
Walk softly, carry a big stick. The last justified war was in the 1940s.
