War history

Matthew Travi:

Bush 1 (R) - Gulf War

Clinton (D) - No Wars

Bush 2 (R) - Iraq War

Bush 2 (R) - Afghanistan War

Obama (D) - No Wars

Biden (D) -No Wars

Trump (R) - Iran War

Anyone Not seeing the trend here?

A few slight corrections:

- Clinton: Somalia (remember “Black Hawk Down”?), Haiti, Bosnia, Iraq, Kosovo, Sudan, Afghanistan
- Obama: Pakistan, Libya, Yemen, Syria, also arguably Afghanistan and Iraq
- Biden: Yemen, Iraq, Syria

Though it's too early to say what Trump's Iran "war" will end up looking like, all of the above-listed U.S. military interventions were, at this point, more prolonged. Unfortunately trigger-happiness seems to be a bipartisan affliction.
