You can pretend the rest didn't happen, sure. Why admit these three?
I'm not pretending the rest didn't happen. I'm saying the rest seem pretty peaceable to me. Perhaps the Haiti embargo, but I don't view embargoes as acts of war.

What other items on that list would you classify as war-like?
 
FDR and Truman.

Next?
I know that, it's not the point though, the point is we have had troops in old war zones a lot longer than Kosavo..once we get our troops involved in a war, we tend to not leave.
 
Operation Restore Hope.
Operation Northern Watch.
Operation Southern Watch.
Operation Deny Flight.
Operation Deliberate Force.
Operation Uphold Democracy.
Operation Desert Strike.
Operation Desert Fox.
Operation Infinite Reach.
Operation Allied Force.

Not peacable. Warlike. Every one of them.

So... It would not be so bad to still have troops in Iraq? Afghanistan?

I'm consistent in that I want all the troops home from everywhere.

I completely agree...The hawks have had power in Washington all my life, I'm a dove
 
I want the greatest Coast Guard and National Guard we can train but also to lead the globe in humanitarian aid and disaster relief
 
LOL at the list including operations to evacuate US citizens from dangerous places.

Ha! At least Bill knew he should try! Hilary just turns her back and says "What difference does it make". The finds some poor smuck on YouTube that made a rotten video to blame.

We do have constitutional obligations due to treaties we agreed to.

NATO being the obvious one.

It's ok to respond to agression, but it's another thing to pull strings with NATO so your warmongering is "legit."

I'm pretty sure Clinton used troops, regardless. US troops on foreign soil with weapons and rules of engagement.

LOL indeed.

There is a significant difference between a guy with some change in his pocket and a billionaire, even though they both have money.

Poor analogy. Your position is he had no "money" at all.

Either he sent armed soldiers to foreign soil, or he didn't. He did, you can't pretend it was something else.

Point me to where I claimed that he didn't. I think you are erecting a strawman, but your strawman has erectile dysfunction.
