List of US Military interventions , page 1

So i found this website which lists every intervention of the US military since 1890, and yeah; theres a LOT. I dont understand why people still join the forces when it's clear what kind of things are done, and how the politicians blatantly lie in our faces.

This is a very skewed list. It throws genuine aggressive foreign intervention actions in with National Guard callups where they just stood around to discourage violence. And by mixing in the Wrapup of Indian Wars, you are including domestic "interventions." Compared to many other countries, the US doesn't hold a candle to actions within its own borders. They also include "interventions" separately that are part of the same action, ie Guam/Cuba/Puerto Rico -all part of the same action. Phillipines can claim its own due to a long and bloody "insurgency" that followed the Spanish American War. And including WW2? The US was attacked on it own soil. In other words, this list is making itself blatantly slanted and manipulated to anyone who knows anything about history.

Which is working against its own cause. If one were just honest and straightforward, most Latin American interventions since 1890 on behalf of large corporations are enough to make someone angry. And, of course, Cold War engagements all over the world.

There is no need to try and exaggerate and skew the numbers here. On a whole, there is a good case against many of the foreign interventions by the US. But, by including WW2, small National Guard activations, domestic Indian Wars, breaking one intervention into many, etc this list is a fail.
Just trying too hard and by doing so, hurts its legitimacy.

True. But how is that different from any other nation/people in all of human history? Real history. Not fantasy history where American Indians are peaceful or something.

It's not, and some wars are more just than others. Human beings are a pretty vicious lot.
If there were any proof of alien life out there it would lie in the fact that we've had nuclear weapons since 1945 and haven't managed to wipe ourselves out.

Unfortunately, your little poster is wrong. The US was not involved in WW1 between 1914 and 1918. The US turned up in 1918 to claim their part in the victory. With such basic inaccuracies as that one would have to question the punchline.

Come on, let's try a bit harder with history.

Why let a little fact get in the way of a good propaganda, I mean story.

Americans as a people are great, caring and only strive for peace.

but the moment they look beyond their own borders working for the government, it's like something clicks in their minds and they become ruthless psychopaths ready to devour everything and everyone in the way for a quick buck, then in turn, tell everyone at home that it's for the peace they care so much for so they continue to fund it.

most americans don't want this type of label, they just want to live.
but they fail to realize that to live the way they do, they have to bring down the entire world around them.

Yeah, let's only count the white countries, like asian and middle eastern nations haven't been warring for thousands of years.

The only relatively peaceful lands have been those settled by various nature peoples, and even they have had their fair share of war and or conflicts.

Yeah you may have never heard of it but I think they have us beat... And even better the Irish fought the English on and off but almost constantly in some form for over 500 years.

War is nothing new and there is no fair way to rank who is worse
