But just saying "US Invasion" brings connotation of "Boots on the ground" - which it is not.

There once was a day when we said "We bombed" or "We invaded". and they actually meant something specific,

I guess today that doesn't really matter.

I guess accurate language and descriptions are unimportant now.

I stand corrected. Carry on.

Over and out on this subject.
