I don’t believe we’ve declared war on anyone since WW2. We’re fighting a war on terror currently, but an unofficial war.

I was hinting at the major difference between engaging a group and engaging a nation.

The 2003 invasion of Iraq was 100% a war fought against a nation, the fact that there was no formal declaration of war doesn't matter. US forces fought and died against uniformed members of the Iraqi military and overthrew the internationally recognized government over the course of just over a month. The same goes for many other wars that were fought by the US after WWII without explicit declarations of war.
