And no, Vietnam wasn't twenty years. Again, if you want to consider one US soldier setting foot somewhere as qualifying we're at war, then we are pretty much at war all the time. I mean, counting the Cold War as war? Really?

 

I'm not sure what the whole point of the list is.

Welp. To paraphrase the big dog, it depends on what your definition of war is. Is it when there are casualties? Shots fired? Monies spent on military endeavors ? " The cold war" was a massive military build up of chess between to super powers. It was perhaps the best " war" the US won without firing a shot. But one can say this " war" led to other squirmishes. Proxy wars.

Either way, define it as you want, but one cannot say, we don't know war.

War, huh, what is it good for. Absolutely nothing. Song still relevant forever.
