      Dude, “sand people” is not the preferred nomenclature. Tatooine-American, please.

            Isn’t the original line “sometimes war”? Or am I misremembering the lyrics.

                pushes glasses well akshually…The US was not involved in an armed conflict from 1795 to 1798, 1805-1810, 1815-1816, 1828-1832, 1924-1939, 1961-1964 and finally 1975 to 1982. Out of the US’ 248 years of existance, it has enjoyed 38 years of official peace.

                  Dude that’s awesome if those are real stats. Bravo. Can you further refine to include proxy wars?

                    That’s really hard to source honestly due to the nature of proxy wars. The list I provided does include large conflicts in which the US was a beligerent in some way, shape, or form, so not just wars. For example, it includes domestic conflicts the US never flagged as wars such as the various campaigns against the American natives, the invasion of Mexico and a whole bunch of others lesser known ones.
