PFC Eric Minchey 163949 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The United States has arguably, been at war 220 out of 238 years of it's entire existence. In fact, none of our Presidents truly qualify as a peacetime president as we have never gone a decade without a war. The only time we've gone five years without a war was during the Great Depression (1935 – 1940) when we couldn't afford to fight!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>One problem... What about pre-1776? The US Army has been around since 1775 and I think the US Navy has been around since that time too...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Some would argue that most were not declared wars, some were NATO or policing actions, etc. I say that is all politics and such and understand that we always have something going even if it is not on your list. We have black ops for a reason....

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You waffle back and forth on what your definition of war is by using certain "conflicts" of the 19th Century and then no "major" war in the 20th Century. Also the Cold War was from 1945 until 1991ish.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Missing GWOT in Horn of Africa, Philippines, Malaysia, Georgia, Colombia. Missing Colombia drug interdiction through the 1990s and 2000s.<br /><br />All the Indian wars are truncated on your list--the Apache Wars, as one example, ran from 1849 to 1924.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>We actually can't afford to finance a war now but that doesn't stop Congress. IT also doesn't stop them from trying to do more with less.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am curious about the source used to compile this list, the criteria used, etc. The Congressional Research Service has issued some reports on the subject that might be of interest: "U.S. Periods of War and Dates of Conflict" &amp; "American War and Military Operations Casualties." I tried to add links to these reports but, so far, haven't been able to.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think peace is possible. Gotta keep hope alive, eh? Then again, with warfare moving to the cyber domain ... Maybe we never will experience true peace.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I realize that I have not been on RP very long but, seriously, it does seems like we have "repeat" discussions going on. There is already one (at least that I know of) discussion on RP that starts out with a list of the wars that we have fought since the dawn of the country. Perhaps there needs to be some kind of list put together that shows all the discussions that are active on RP?
