>>"World Wars do not count. As they are not unilateral and based on choice."
All wars are based on choice. When Germany invaded France and marched into Paris in the Franco-Prussian War, no one in the U.S. cared or got involved. In WW I, there was a serious move for the U.S. to get into the war on Germany's side. In WW II, it was iffy that the U.S. was going to get into the war at all.
The U.S. Left (under Stalin's orders) picketed the White House for the U.S. NOT to get into WW II in 1940 and '41, until the USSR was invaded, then they suddenly did a 180 and the next day the same people were picketing for the U.S. to enter the war. The Kennedys thought Hitler was the sure winner and sent money to the isolationist movement.
The French were fighting communists in Vietnam in the 1950's and asked for U.S. help. Eisenhower wisely said fuck off, but not Kennedy.
And "Not Unilateral"? None of these wars were unilateral. The Korean wWar was backed by the entire UN except for the USSR and China. And the Gulf war involved 39 countries - Afghanistan, Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Honduras, Hungary, Italy, Kuwait, Morocco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Syria, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States. These allies lost more dead than the entire U.S. total.
