and the invasion of vietnam was a "police action"

states calling wars things other than war to get around treaty obligations or domestic laws is totally normal and stupid so it's pointless to use rhetorically.

somebody on here said it's SMO because they have allies that would be obligated to join a war but idk if that's true.
