Why ever did you immigrate to the U.S.  At war with someone.some where

Immigration to US wasn't my decision.  I was 5 or 6 years old when my
parents dragged me kicking and screaming to the land where the streets
are paved with gold.  Actually, after WWII and the concentration
camps, the US looked much better than all the other countries that had
been trashed by WWII.  Almost every displaced Jew wanted to relocate
to Israel after WWII.  Most of my relatives went to Israel.  A few
idiots went back to Poland or worse.  The problem was that the British
"owned" Israel and didn't like the idea of a mass Jewish exodus to the
promised land.  They didn't allow immigration to Israel until 1948,
the year I was born:

Other countries had the same problem, but were generally smart enough
to default on their promises when the results of a war or revolution
were not guaranteed.

Read some history. The bulk of U.S. "wars" were not defense from
attack, but rather the opposite.

As I said, "Read some history"
 
April 25, 1846 – February 2, 1848) was an invasion of Mexico by the
United States Army.
 
Second Anglo-Chinese War or Arrow War,[3] was fought between the
United Kingdom and France against the Qing dynasty of China between
1856 and 1860. It was the second major conflict in the Opium Wars,
which were fought over the right to import opium to China,
 
The United States expedition to Korea, known in Korea as the
Shinmiyangyo (Korean: ????; Hanja: ????; lit. Western Disturbance in
the Shinmi Year) or simply the Korean Expedition, was an American
military action in Korea that took place predominantly on and around
Ganghwa Island in 1871.
 
The Spanish–American War[b] (April 21 – December 10, 1898) was fought
between Spain and the United States in 1898.
 
The Philippine–American War,[13] known alternatively as the Philippine
Insurrection, Filipino–American War,[b] or Tagalog
Insurgency,[14][15][16] emerged following the conclusion of the
Spanish–American War in December 1898
 
The Boxer Rebellion, also known as the Boxer Uprising, was an
anti-foreign, anti-imperialist, and anti-Christian uprising in North
China between 1899 and 1901, towards the end of the Qing dynasty, by
the Society of Righteous and Harmonious Fists, known as the "Boxers"
 
The United States occupation of Haiti began on July 28, 1915, when 330
US Marines landed at Port-au-Prince, Haiti, after the National City
Bank of New York convinced the President of the United States, Woodrow
Wilson, to take control of Haiti's political and financial interests.
 
And the list goes on and on and on.

That sounds very nice and is true in a rather strange manner -

The Spanish–American War. Supposedly over the sinking of the USS
Maine... although a rather large studies of the Maine subsequently
shown that the ship was not attacked or damaged by any outside action

The china wars...no they weren't the largest unit the British were, I
believe,. largely to ensure that the trade in Opium was not outlawed
as the Chinese Government had ordered.
And on and on.
