Reply #13: Gulf War II doesn't count...

Not last century.

And, while vietnam was CALLED a "police action" the Central and S. American conflicts WERE "police actions" for all intents and purposes. Very limited scale engagements. If you take them out, we're looking at fairly even numbers. And, YES, Republican administrations were very much involved in the internal wars of various nations. That's certainly not debatable. But that's not exactly dragging the U.S. into war, is it?

And Johnson started the escalation of the Vietnam conflict. Nixon continued it.
