    Oh, hell, classes just resumed at the university here, so the new batch of freshmen is here, and some days I feel like it. But I don’t count the Cold War as a war, just like the Holy Roman Empire wasn’t holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.

      I wasn’t talking about the Cold War, though. The US was deeply involved in several hot wars during that period, including the Laotian Civil War, the Dominican Civil War, the Cambodian Civil War, the bombing of Libya, the Tanker War, the US invasion of Panama, and others. The US has literally never not been involved in some war, somewhere. That’s kind of its thing.

        Hey now! We have not been at war for a whole 17 years since the founding of the country! That’s 7%
