| Topic | Rank Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq in terms of worst/dumbest American wars |

Pretty much every hostile foreign military engagement the US has had since WW2 has been bullshit anyway. I think Iraq and Afghanistan may be worse than Vietnam because that's a big turning point when it went from just pointless wars to pointless forever wars. There have been a lot more proxy conflicts as a result of these than I'm aware of happening from Vietnam. Congressional checks and balances against war have eroded in the 21st century, though it's not like congress doesn't generally love war too. There's been more emphasis on airstrikes and stuff like that which is abhorrent but is used to try to sell the American people that it isn't war/it's not a huge human cost when it's not American lives Yea it's all been policing or flexing after WW2. --- The Evil Republicans - Est.2004 - WoT [Government Destabilizing Branch] ...
