This is likely...the scariest thing I have ever seen posted on these boards.

Aw come on Tec, it's very simple. If
everyone is
in prison, then everyone
outside prison will obviously be perfectly safe.

I guess what I'm asking is whether or not we're officially "at war?" I was under the impression that we had skirted that by making this an "operation," and that while the President / Armed Services had certain executive privelages, that technically, in a legal sense, we're not "at war" in the same way we were in Vietnam, Korea, WWI and II, etc.
/pigglet potentially reveals his shocking ignorance of the situation.
