Actually, after substantial research on the matter I fail to see how bombing Dresden did any good at all.

That Germany hasn't fought any wars in recent years is due to a great number of factors, most of all the American armament and feeding of the Russian Army ~

Your 'substantial research on the matter' failed to reveal that:
    Dresden was a major rail nexus
    Dresden was Germany's seventh-largest city and the largest remaining unbombed built-up area.
    An official 1942 guide to the city described it as "one of the foremost industrial locations of the Reich".
    As late as 1944 the German Army High Command's Weapons Office listed 127 medium-to-large factories and workshops that were supplying the Wehrmacht with war materiel.

Dresden was well worth bombing.

You seem to forget Bosnia. The Bundeswehr were very active there. The Bundeswehr will remain in Afghanistan after the USA cuts and runs too.
