I know that I’m splitting hairs, but the United States has never been in a war since World War II. My reason is in the Constitution. Only Congress can declare war and Congress has not.
If you believe the media, Afghanistan is our longest conflict (war) and cost over $2 trillion, but there is another war that we will never win and will cost millions of lives in self-respect: The war on poverty.
This war started in the ’60s. Congress destroyed the family unit, created more crime, developed a lost-cause mentality and there’s no end in sight.
