I once read a novel where one of the characters described the United

Sadly.  In reality the US has only been in 5 wars because Congress, which
has the power to declare war, abdicates its responsibility.

Even sadder, many times the politician who was elected on the promise to
keep the US out of a war was the one that led the country into yet another
war even if it required a lot of creative writing and yellow journalism to
make it happen.

Despite loving war the US hasn't exactly won a war in my lifetime except
for little operations like Grenada and that wasn't the smoothest
operation. I'm sure Thatcher and Reagan had a long, heated discussion
about invading a Commonwealth country without even a courtesy call.

War is good for business. Like the Spanish Civil War all those little
proxy wars also give the industrial-military complex the chance to see if
their latest toys actually work.
