pushes glasses well akshually…The US was not involved in an armed conflict from 1795 to 1798, 1805-1810, 1815-1816, 1828-1832, 1924-1939, 1961-1964 and finally 1975 to 1982. Out of the US’ 248 years of existance, it has enjoyed 38 years of official peace.
That’s really hard to source honestly due to the nature of proxy wars. The list I provided does include large conflicts in which the US was a beligerent in some way, shape, or form, so not just wars. For example, it includes domestic conflicts the US never flagged as wars such as the various campaigns against the American natives, the invasion of Mexico and a whole bunch of others lesser known ones.
Sand people (I don’t recall their actual name)
Holy shit dude, it’s 2024
Anakin: I’m tired of you people
Tusken Raiders: What do you mean “you people”?
I’m sorry! Anakin killed them all, so I couldn’t ask what their preferred name is! 😢
Yeah the most polite thing to do is ask what specific tribe they are.
Of course, they’re going to stab you with a gaffi stick, but you should ask
I just laughed way, way too hard at this.
Dude, “sand people” is not the preferred nomenclature. Tatooine-American, please.

We’re all living in Amerika. Coca-Cola. Always war.
Isn’t the original line “sometimes war”? Or am I misremembering the lyrics.
You’re correct, it is. But when has Amerika ever not been at war with someone?

Dude that’s awesome if those are real stats. Bravo. Can you further refine to include proxy wars?
