@pcharles,
If you mean by the US military only (which the title seems to indicate) use this list:

Welcome to able2know, and ignore the rude jerks there's always going to be some of those.

@Robert Gentel,
Was I being rude. I understood his point also and resent the fact that he acusses the U.S of being the only country who has troops in other countries and have started wars. The number of wars in the world are more in number than can be counted and most of the countries in the world have been involved. I think the U.S should stay closer to home and have the ability to defend its own borders which I am not sure we have the ability to do. But haveing said that I also dont think any country in the world has the right to condem any other country because most have at one time or another been involved in unjust wars.

The question does nothing of the sort. Your hyperactive imagination is at play here.

Why don't you start a thread for your rant? This was a simple question with a simple answer and has nothing to do with what you feel about geopolitics.

@Robert Gentel,
Why is everything you disagree with a rant. I have heard this from you before and if I want to rant i will rant. And I still think the post intimated that the U.S. is the only power in the world since 1941 who started a war. And this is the one I want to post on with your gracious permission or even without.

You've never heard me say everything I disagree with is a rant. If you want to rant then rant. And if I want to call you rude I will call you rude.

@RexRed,
If you define the parameters more accurately (time, specific enemies for e.g.) and start your own question (instead of trying to politicize this one) I would put some effort into finding data for you as well.

Data is a good thing, and this is a thread asking for data, while you guys can only jump to a conclusion.

Lots of wars. I will check further but what little I have checked it seems the U. S. has been involved in more wars relateing to commerce than freedom and democracy. But than being interested in history I already knew that.

You are not seriously suggesting that the US has been or is involved in EVERY war since the 1940's, are you?

@mysteryman,
No, but a large number of the first ones I looked at seem to involve the U.S. in one way or another which as I stated before I already knew. We seem to fight a lot of wars for commerce which I knew because as I stated before I have an interest in history. Check out the list, I still am.
