4) the term "act of war" means any act occurring in the course of—
(A) declared war;
(B) armed conflict, whether or not war has been declared, between two or more nations; or
© armed conflict between military forces of any origin;

You don’t need to intend to start a war with armed conflict for it to meet the US government’s definition of act of war.

If a government uses a military drone to kill a general in another country’s military that meets the definition of act of war. At least according to our government.

But, that won’t stop some folks from only focusing one aspect of the definition while completely ignoring the rest of the definition.

We got that definition way back in post 382 and it was addressed, , but thanks for suggesting some folks will ignore it. 

None of that describes an elimination of a leader of a terrorist organization. In a third country. 

But that wont stop folks from talking out of their 4th point of contact. 

But as you're the expert of what constitutes an Acts of War (other than Dill and Fred). Was the "Act of War" against Iran or Iraq?
