Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the United States Congress never formally declared war during the Vietnam War?

Yes. Two reference sources state directly that the United States did not formally declare war during its involvement in Vietnam, with Congress instead authorizing force through the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. Additional scholarly items describe the Vietnam War as fought without a congressional declaration of war.
