Yeah, pretty much. Will, I think the point you're missing is that, despite there being a "law" regarding it, though international law is a bit flaky to begin with, in my opinion, the US military is far too taxed and far too strained helping the whole damned world with all of their problems as it is. When we decide we need to use them for something we deem suitable, to hell with the UN. Again, regardless of what UN precept we violated, where is our punishment? There isn't one, nor will the UN ever take action against the United States. To do so would be to dismiss the UN entirely. Frankly, look at the UN as more of a kingdom, of which the US is the ruling state, and the others merely vassals. Whether it should be that way or not is a matter for debate, but that it IS that way is more or less fact.
