The problem is that the belligerents will generally both agree that the conflict isn’t a war. This isn’t limited to the USA either. The Falkland Islands conflict involved the invasion and counterinvasion of the Falkland Islands between Argentina and the United Kingdom. Officially, that conflict was not a war and neither side officially declared war on the other.

Maybe they do that, but then it is their own problem.
I am still free to call it what it is. In my country there was & is nobody (except maybe some diplomats/politicians who were talking with these countries at the time) who called the Falkland war anything else than war.
