It's a bad standard and makes the US look kind of bumbling and incompetent. In reality the US has used its military capacity to participate in and bankroll countless undeclared dirty wars, violent anti-democratic coups, and to facilitate violent far-right terrorism as well as drug and human trafficking.
Most of these conflicts are excluded from American curricula and the ones that are included are largely just sob storied for the few thousand dead Americans with maybe a sentence or two for their millions of victims.
This is stupid. Military spending is outrageous but this article is plain stupid.
What does “real war” mean after WWII? Does that mean total war? That means using nukes.
Maybe the fact that the US hasn’t fought a real war by this article’s “standard” is the exact proof that it does work.
