THE PAST THROUGH TOMORROW: FUTURE HISTORY STORIES
We just call it “The Bug War.” Everything up to then and still later were “incidents,” “patrols” or “police actions.” However, you are just as dead if you buy the farm in an “incident” as you are if you buy it in a declared war… The historians can’t seem to settle whether to call this one “The Third Space War” (or the fourth), or whether “The First Interstellar War” fits it better.
