Has America ever been in a justifiable "no bullshit" war? or has it all just been contrived bullshit and wasted lives? If it makes the question simpler you can answer it AFTER WW2 if t helps. this is a legitimate question im not framing this from some right wing or left wing angle. i admittedly dont know a lot about history.

I remember in the 90s and 2000s there being a lot of patriotism and a lot of people going into the military to "defend" america. (especially after 9/11) but as i learn more about different wars america has been involved in im starting to wonder if the lives of american soldiers have just been thrown away for stupid bullshit for decades.

The only wars America fought that weren't justified were Korea and Vietnam. The GWOT was justified because it was a retaliation to real terrorist attacks and Desert Storm was justified because Saddam was a madman who declared war on the west.

The US intervention in Vietnam was completely justified. Sure, domino theory was speculative, but Communism was destroying East Asia.
