Response to this claim
Vice President JD Vance said he would not call the U.S. fight with Iran a war, saying there is no active shooting right now and that major combat operations lasted about six weeks.
“18 American patriots died. More than 700 have been injured. A war is a war.”
Deluzio's post on his X account, @RepDeluzio. It quotes a post by Acyn that shows Collins asking whether the war will be over by the time of the midterm elections and Vance answering, "I wouldn't call it a war. There is no active shooting."
The reference point is Vance's statement that he would not call the fighting a war. Deluzio answers with a short different description, "A war is a war", after citing deaths and injuries. He states his own label rather than denouncing Vance's wording, so challenges the characterization fits better than condemns.
