I tried to interview Saddam Hussein the other day as to whether we have won any wars since WWII but he was not available. It is true that we have not fought nearly as often as we should have and our politicians have no nerve or staying power.
Half a century before the Spanish American War, we intervened and invaded Mexico. Lincoln (the same guy who perpetrated the invasion of the Southland and our bloodiest war to date) had a cow as a one-term Congressman, sniffling and wailing against the war effort in Mexico blubbering "this chamber stands knee deep in blood." During Vietnam, Senator McGoo (Commiecrat-SD) repeated Lincoln's speech without attribution on the Senate floor. So as to the history of American interventionism, you need re-education camp.
As to the fifty years of future presence in South Korea (if it takes that long), the beauty part is that the paleos also get to pay the taxes for exercises in patriotism, rage though they may against them.
No, because since they are declaraed by the Congress, they represent the commitment of the people to winning.
In any war, the will to win is crucial.

I did not realize the war was fought to kill Saddam.
We could have done that in 91, but when the armed engagement ended Bush Sr. suddenly realized that Saddam was not Hitler incarnate after all, due to the pressure of our Arab 'allies' and left him in power to continue to murder more people.
He even let him have some heliocopters to spread the poison gas with.
Ofcourse, the Bush admininstration believed that those heliocopters were only going to be used for medical reasons!

Why should they, with apologists such as yourself who think they do not have to follow the Constitition when they send our troops in harms way for a prolonged time.

No, that wasn't a foreign intervention, since we were involved in an U.S. issue, not trying to overturn the Mexican government.
Fighting a foreign nation doesn't rate as interventionism.
Trying to create an empire by overturning other nations governments does.
As for Lincoln, he was, as were the rest of the Whigs, suspious of the motives of the Democrats who had an agenda to conquer the SouthWest to be used as slave states.
How many men died in Vietnam for nothing!
So, the only one who has to stop his blabbering is you and it is you who needs to get some education on when the United States became an imperial nation, and that was in the Spanish American War.

No, the evil of it is that the United States will be drained and become bankrupt and your children and grandchildren will pay the bill with a lower standard of living.
The Koreans will thank you though.
