proxy wars are always fine, where something is at stake but not that much and you really do not want anybody to know (where anybody means US)...the real ones with high tech, for TV... no way, no outsourcing.

The origin of the mistake is that in my comment I mean wars declared as such for the americans. Also bombing declared as a war (whatever war). We eruopeans have such a loose defination for war... we never learn!!!

So, the US did outsource wars but not the ones they called wars and wanted the public to be called as such. I think everything makes sense now... sort of.
