What’s the status of various wars?

The president said that this Gitmo prisoner trade really doesn’t matter because we soon will be out of Afghanistan and then we would be releasing all prisoners of war anyway. (Because that’s what you do at the end of a war.) My questions are: Were we at war with Afghanistan? Were these five men members of the Afghanistan military? Did we win that war or surrender? What about the war on terror? Is that war also over? Were these five men terrorists of that war? Did we win or surrender in that war?
