And dozens of “minor” conflicts in South America and Africa over the years (for example, task force ranger and the battle of Mogadishu… as imortalozed in black hawk down,)
Yeah. Us military might as well be fighting for big corporations.
Korea was not as disheartening as the other 3 on that list. Gulf War would be the next example. In Korean War the US had a major victory, created a long term ally, and the soldiers were met with overwhelming positivity that continues to this day. (At least among the older generations… younger Americans are making an ass of themselves in Korea now and drawing more ire).
Even now with two wars the US isn’t even fighting in, their corporations are making billions.
Israel and Saudi Arabia are a couple of their largest buyers.
Korea, too.
