Since 1993 at war with islam?
Seems like it went at least back to 1979, when they took over our Iranian Embassy and held our people captive for 444 days.
Much farther back in time.
Question from American history:
What year or century did the United States of America first declare war on Islamists?
A. 2001 (9/11 World Trade Towers destruction)
B. 1996 (Khobar Towers Bombing of US military)
C. 1993 (World Trade Towers bombing)
D. 1983 (Beirut Barracks bombing of US military)
E. 1979 (Iran Hostage Crisis)
F. 1941 (In WWII USA had more than three enemies. Germany allied with Islamists in Jerusalem (possibly elsewhere too) which may have been what inspired Hitler changing plans from from expelling the Jews from Germany to murdering them in country)
G. 1801 (America sends US Marines to North Africa)
Give up? Hint: The lyrics in the US Marine song are for a reason and is the oldest official song of the US Military:
“From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.
Our flag’s unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in ev’ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job—
The United States Marines.
Here’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven’s scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.”
G. 1801 is correct. It is called the First Barbaric War. America sent our Marines against Islamists in Tripoli (Libya).
