    Since 1917 actually.

    WWI - Woodrow Wilson

    WWII - FDR

    Korea - Truman

    Vietnam - Kennedy, Johnson

    All Democrats

    Vietnam cont. - Nixon

    Grenada (Does this really count?) - Reagan

    Panama - Bush 41

    Gulf War - Bush 41

    Haiti (Hey, if Grenada counts...) - Clinton (another Democrat)

    Kosovo - Clinton

    Iraq - Bush 43

    Did I miss anything?

    Let's see. How many of them had something to do with a European power? All but Haiti, Grenada and Panama! Now add to that list the Spanish Civil War, Algeria, the Indonesian War of Independence, the troubles in Northern Ireland, the Falkland Islands... Well, you get the picture. We're amateurs compared to you guys.
