Kind of funny how the standard historical narrative of America neglects to mention that if you count the Revoltion, the War of 1812, the Mexican American War, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, the wars against the Indians, WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Desert Storm, Somalia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq again and Libya, we've been in armed conflict more often than not during our history as a nation.
