RobSmith, you are not addressing the point I made about the USA not being in 200 full-fledged wars since the Cold War. A war is different than smaller military activities in terms of the level of force. Can you please provide a source clearly saying the USA has been in 200 full-fledged wars since the Cold War? You cited this: [https://sgp.fas.org/crs/natsec/R42738.pdf Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2023], Congressional Research Service, June 7, 2023. But this source does not say the USA has been involved in 200 wars like you claim. The Congressional Research Service report states at its beginning: "This report lists hundreds of instances in which the United States has used its Armed Forces abroad in situations of military conflict or potential conflict or for other than normal peacetime purposes".[https://sgp.fas.org/crs/natsec/R42738.pdf] A military conflict or potential conflict is not synonymous with a war. | RobSmith, you are not addressing the point I made about the USA not being in 200 full-fledged wars since the Cold War.
