    Each of those you mentioned, except Korea, included Congress approval. Vietnam was approved by Congress with the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (1964). Iraq was approved with the Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution (2002). Afghanistan was approved by the Congress Joint Resolution (2001). I suppose it’s the fine line between “military force” and “war”.
