And that doesn’t include Obama bombing the snot out of Libya, attempting a government overthrow in Egypt, or assisting Syrian rebels.
Interesting. But what does this really indicate?
For example, we entered World War II after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I think we would have entered the war then, if Wendell Willkie had defeated FDR in the 1940 election. I wouldn’t think our entry into that war, showed a tendency of a Democrat to enter a war.
I tried to watch Ken Burn’s series on the War in Vietnam but I only lasted about three espisodes, up to the point when he clearly was jumping through hoops and rewriting history in an effort to reahibilitate the image of Ho Chi Minh. Up until that point I thought the facts had been being presented pretty even-handedly. Particularly the recordings he played of telephone conversations had by JFK and LBJ when each was POTUS. Both men admitted, in essence, that they should have been reducing troop levels in southeast Asia and preparing to disengage from the conflict, but both indicated they weren’t willing to suffer the consequences of those acts at the ballot box.
It was a confession to letting their lust for power dictate the strategy in Vietnam, a willingness to trade lives of American servicemen for votes.
Dhimmicrats start wars - Republicans finish them.
Excellent! I’ve been saying the Dmeocrats are the war
party.
Interesting chart.
For your consideration only, would you add a democRAT to the Afghanistan conflict seeing O increased forces there? I am also not sure if you should have a republican registered for the Vietnam war too but you did make a note about how Nixon ended it.
I think I understand your reasoning behind why you do not have a Republican starting the civil war.
Having said all that, it was an interesting chart.
“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference."
“I’ll have those niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” ~ Lyndon B. Johnson
The Bushes got us into some "wars of choice" that we might have avoided.
There was also a Korean Expedition in 1871 and a Paraguayan Expedition in 1858, that I only learned of recently.
And two Fiji expeditions I just found out about now. Not to mention countless Indian wars.
