My country has been at war for most of my life

>there are people post on 4chan right now who were born after 9/11/01 and thus their entire lives their country has been in war

Not very surprising considering that your country has been at war most of its life.
>>
>>53658184
our country has been at war since it was founded. if you pick any year since 1776 theres a 91% chance we were fighting someone somewhere. i think the longest we've gone without some kind of conflict or war was between ww1 and ww2
>>
>>53658271
just looked it up the longest we've gone without fighting was the 6 years from 1934 to 1940

We both have an interest in containing China so we are allies by default

i never said they were our ally, neither did the first guy. we're absolutely friendly though vietnam is very americanized these days even if the resentment is still there.

they raged from 1898 to 1934. a lot of good men lost. its like the war of 1812 though. it happened and i believe that but i can't possibly tell you what it was about and i don't think anyone really ever knew.

Perhaps the single most active military officer in the Banana Wars was U.S. Marine Corps Major General, Smedley Butler, who saw action in Honduras in 1903, served in Nicaragua enforcing American policy from 1909–1912, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his role in Veracruz in 1914, and a second Medal of Honor for bravery while "crush(ing) the Caco resistance" in Haiti in 1915. In 1935, Butler wrote in his famous book War Is a Racket:

I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

I think it's pretty obvious that whoever made this was as liberal as possible with what constitutes a "war" in order to end up with the highest conceivable number of years possible. For instance, a nebulous group of peaceful occupations and occasional military clashes rarely lasting more than a day or two across several different countries gets all lumped together into the "Banana Wars" for this tabulation and counts for the list at 35 years of uninterrupted warfare - regardless of whether there was fighting or not. The same is done with the Chickamaya Wars - which end up presented at 19 years of uninterrupted war. They stitch the Boro Rebellion into the years of the Philippine-American War to turn that 3 year long conflict into a 15 year long one. The same is done with the Cold War, which they break out as a legitimate war whenever they've got some years on the calendar that need plugging up - such as the end of Vietnam and the beginning of the Gulf War. It becomes increasingly clear that whoever made this list does not consider US military involvement to actually be a prerequisite of America being at war. For instance, the Ukrainian Civil War is absurdly counted as an American War - as is the 8 years of the Russo-Afghan War, the Yom Kippur War, and some nebulous conflict whose origin I am not even aware of which they just call the "Conflict in Iraq" which is a 5-year long American war in the middle of the 90's which I apparently missed.

The Yellowstone Expedition somehow gets counted as a war (you might as well include "the Lewis & Clark War"), as does the Posey War, which was a weekend-long policing action by a group of local posses. The Lincoln County War counts as well even though it was a shootout between bandits and lawmen - including this is like including the North Hollywood Shootout. Same with the Jayuya Uprising - a police action lasting a single day. I'm particularly annoyed at the fact that the Cuban Missile Crisis, perhaps the greatest triumph of diplomacy in our country's history, is nonetheless shoved in there as an American war too. Honestly the whole list is just full of disingenuous things like this aimed at trying to make the United States seem as war-like as possible. And that's not even getting into how misleading it is when an entire year gets checked off regardless of the length of the actual conflict. The United States was at war 365 straight days in 1943, whereas the Posey War, the Lincoln County War, and the Jayuya Uprising together were less than a week - yet each of those count for a year all on their own.

They actually are though, you need to brush up on your geo-politics.
