Thanks, RonB52. You are correct. We agree.

I wish I understood why it is acceptable for our mighty leader to say, "Make no mistake! This is a war!" but to treat it as if it is NOT a war, in order to keep our troops from having the kind of rotation of serving that a war would require. Everyone calls this a war ... until you get down to the technicality in which we'd have to admit we started a war.
