SO some of these wars are imperial and some are not. But a pretty impressive kind of info that you can use against America in any conflict they try to get involved in, especially the Mexican war.

You would think that the export of democracy and freedom based on this data would by this time be complete. It,s no wonder they have none left for themselves they,ve given it all away, how benevolent of them. To have exhausted and sacrificed thier own nation for the salvation of the planet,how noble.

In all of your historical recounting of America's wars how is it you never include the DMZ - which is fully paid for also by the U.S. people at the behest of the U.N.? 50 plus years.

I'd say with all that conflict the U.S.A. and its people have done very well for themselves, keeping their country solvent and not receiving any help from any other country whatsoever.

Ooops I guess I should caveat that last sentence. A great deal of world wide assistance reached the U.S. after Katrina...and 9/11.
But those weren't wars really were they?

I have to look up some of those wars myself. but wow what a list.

lets count british or french wars , i cant even imagine how many wars they have fought, they have probley fought more wars against each other than all of the usa haha
