America, Biden insisted, was "no longer at war." If he believes that, it is simply a measure of how thoroughly war has been normalized. It is the background noise of America in the 21st century. But Biden’s Justice Department sure doesn’t tell the courts that we’re no longer at war when it argues to retain War on Terror authorities. Meanwhile, Ken Klippenstein recently tallied 226 days out of the past 365 that U.S. forces took part in some variety of combat engagement. If we also consider Ukraine and Israel to be conflicts in which the U.S. is meaningfully engaged, even if in a support role, then that number goes up to 365.
