I think you guys are getting hung up on semantic technicalities.

Actually, it's the other way around. I think ou are playing semantics
around the idea of when the US was at war. They were at war the first time
they took a shot, which is particularly obvious in a discussion about US
willingness for involvement in WWII as compared to other countries.


Well, you can look at it that way, but I look forward to hearing you explain
how the term 'legally' had nothing to do with laws.
