7. "but not during Korean war, Cold war, or Vietnam war, but it's justified now?"

As my History major/Polisci mother had always taught me - the Korean & Vietnam Wars were "U.N. 'police actions'" - The U.S. never officially "declared war" against them. And obviously the "Cold War" was more a euphemism.

But what you wrote is notable (and one could also include that it a was never used during the "Persian Gulf War" nor the "Iraq War" nor the "Afghanistan War" ).
