      I’m pretty positive that we have been at constant war sends the early 90s during the first Iraq conflict. I can’t remember if there’s a point at any time in the last 30 35 years that we haven’t had soldiers fighting on some foreign land.

        Technically the US has been in a near constant state of war since it’s founding if you include the various Indian wars, and I’m not talking about just the big ones like with Little Bighorn I’m including the small guerilla wars that basically devolved into banditry. I think there were a handful of small gaps but usually those only lasted a year or two.

            Best thing to happen to Britain. America is so backward we’d never have got the NHS, capital punishment aboliition, the welfare state, and there would be sooo many deists. I cannot comprehend an election process that allows religious leaders a voice.
