Legal authority of US government in post-WW2 Japan

So your position is that a war started without a formal declaration of war still needs a formal peace treaty to end?

By that same logic, are we still at war with China as well?

Don’t even get me started on the Battle of New Orleans (hint: the conventional contrarian wisdom that the war was already over is demonstrably false, and not just by reference to all the fighting that was still going on).
