    I can’t discuss this with you because you’re clearly not understanding what a war is.

    that’s fine though, you be ignorant and make a fool out of yourself. no skin off my back.

      They are right about semantics. Although, you have a decent point about overuse/misuse of the word war.

      Technically the US hasn’t been at war since WWII. As you say he stretches the meaning of the word war to the breaking point, not calling the Vietnam Conflict a war also seems equally ridiculous.

      Also what about the Cold War? If everyone agrees the War on Drugs is a war and considering it has cost us millions of lives now why can’t it be a war.
