Radar, reread both Article I, Section 8, para 11, and the precedent for every shooting match we've been in, which number about a hundred and fifty. As you can see, the power of declaring war is vested in Congress, but the Constitution nowhere requires such declaration be made to order the troops in. This permits a flexibility we'd be wise to keep. We've only Congressionally declared a state of war in five conflicts.
