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.

A pleasure
