Congress has sole discretion to declare war, so our participation in it is illegal in that way. The New York Times should be careful about what wars it calls illegal around the world given the US has not had a legal war since the 40's.
No one seems to care about this abandonment of duty. And given the military provably lies without consequence to the civilian-elected commander in chief (both Trump and Biden), it can be argued that indeed our government is at this point very literally an illegitimate junta.
