The US military may have a bad record at peacekeeping operations, but it's all been stuff that we've recovered from and eventually pulled out of with relatively low casualties. The record of initial participants in conventional major wars can be found in WW1 and WW2 and it's not pretty. Even the "winners" came out in worse shape than they went in. (Keep in mind the US was not an initial participant in either conflict, and arguably benefited immensely from doing the proportionately least amount of actual fighting among major powers). And that's without the complication of nuclear weapons.
