      Well yeah, you OBJECTIVELY can’t call what happened in Libya a “war”. It was bad and unnecessary, but by definition, not a war… You did not have US troops fighting Libyan troops.

        So because the US troops were using weapons the Libyan troops couldn’t effectively fight back against, it doesn’t count as a war?

          You’re fighting with the air. I very clearly said Libya wasn’t ok.

          You’re right, massacres aren’t battles and we shouldn’t call them that. Of course that doesn’t make it any better but why call it a battle if it’s not?
