US History wars

[American2020]

According to Jimmy Carter

Carter then said the US has been at peace for only 16 of its 242 years as a nation. Counting wars, military attacks and military occupations, there have actually only been five years of peace in US history—1976, the last year of the Gerald Ford administration and 1977-80, the entirety of Carter’s presidency. Carter then referred to the US as “the most warlike nation in the history of the world,” a result, he said, of the US forcing other countries to “adopt our American principles.”

The U.S. hasn't declared a war since 1942.

The only reason Operation Eagle Claw saw no fighting is the helicopters broke down before reaching Tehran. Carter was spared fighting by happenstance.

The U.S. hasn't declared a war since 1942.

War Powers Act: passed in 1970, gave the power to make war, to the presidency, most notable, Reagan, who fought various guerilla wars that weren't declared. Which gave rise to Operation desert storm and the Balkin War: Kosovo, Bosnia, and Libya.

The Congress has the power to end the war.
