Is the Word "Invasion" Being Overused

I’ve been meaning to raise another point about this. The word “invasion,” is being overused to the point of making it sound normal. Think about what an “invasion” really is. You’ve got your Genghis Khan, Attila, guys like that. You’ve got hordes of whatever you imagine overwhelming the defenses. That’s “invasion.”
But for you spin doctors, a simple break-in or any burglary becomes a “home invasion.” Now, Jake is even talking about the “invaders.”
You guys really give me a good laugh sometimes. And aren’t you glad you’ve got me around here to question these things? Left to your own devices there’s no limit to what you might arrive to.
