A Taste of Our Recent History

History With RCS: War and military action, just a taste of recent history

             I said I would write more about U.S. war, but am finding it difficult to do so, because I find madness difficult to deal with and we seem to have gone war mad with a kind of blood lust. I do over-react from time to time; after all its just our history. 

I offer the following list as a short list of evidence of our history. I feel it right to say that none of the countries mentioned here have invaded US:
 

~  2001: War on terror in Afghanistan.

~ 2002: War on terror in Afghanistan and Yemen. 
~ 2003: War on terror in Afghanistan and Iraq.
~ 2004: War on terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and Yemen.
~ 2005: War on terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and Yemen.
~ 2006: War on terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and Yemen
~ 2007: War on terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen.
2008: War on terror in  Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and Yemen. 
2009: War on terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and Yemen,
2010: War on terror  in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and Yemen.
2011: War on terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia,
and Yemen; Conflict in Libya (Libyan civil war)
2012: War on terror in Afghanistan, Pakistan,  Somalia, and Yemen.
2013: War on terror in Afghanistan Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen.
2014: War on terror in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen. War on ISIL in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Nigeria.
2015: War on terror in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen.
2016: War on terror in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen; war on ISIL in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Nigeria. War in Afghanistan.

This is crazy. I can't stand any more right now. I could write some background about the people of the countries mentioned here If anyone were interested.


There is a place to comment below.


Let me say that it seems to me that it is not possible to make war on drugs, crime, terror, polio, or peanut butter.   I believe war is made on people.
