You assume much, remember that I lived through a great many of them, including being into the Marines early in the Vietnam War, Fall of 1966 though the Fall of 1967. That was one of our major messes, as was the Korean War before and all of our War, since Vietnam. Note that despite all the blood spilt, we have not won a single war in my lifetime, despite most of them being in smaller countries, despite spending far more on our military than most of the other large militaries. So much about our claim to be so great. Meanwhile, it appears we are trying to get into more wars, that we also will likely lose. The United States is becoming a bad joke. Typical of any civilization at collapse. Note that it matters not which political Party is in control.
