The question is too broad. It would take several books to argue about 19th century wars. Try the 20th century. America had no business in WW1.Pompus former Prinston professor Woodie Wilson told Americans that we would never again fight in a foreign war. Next thing you know he is shipping Doughboys to fight for France and die in trenches. About 100,000 Americans died in about 4 years. Was Imperialist Germany a threat to the US? FDR told Americans the same thing while he was desperate for Japan to attack so we could get in to the "real war" in Europe. The fool based his opinion about Japanese military strength on racist slogans. We lost about 300,000 in four years. Harry Truman did the right thing in Korea but we lost 35,000 due to his incompetence in a three year war that should have been over in less than a year. What can you say about LBJ's war except that the fool set the rules so that the US would win every battle and still lose the war.
