Do you mean like that time you sat on the sidelines for three years of war and startes to act only when it looked like Germany might win Mexico over to attack you guys and you guys got scared of submarine war?

Or do you mean that time you sat on side lines for two years and started to act only when Japan sank some of your ships?

Or are you talking about the Vietnam or Korean wars that went so swimmingly?

Or the dozen military conflict after those that has only succeeded making middle east more unstable?

Or the more recent where you kidnapped a president from a neighboring country?

Im not really sure if i should be thankfull for any of those.
