- lostlogin 10y agoPedantically? If we take your new definition, how many countries is the US currently invading with its airforce (particularly drones)? It isn't invading them because it's armies aren't in them and that's what the term "on its soil" means.
- paulddraper 10y agoWell, the parent was talking about _bombing_, so Pearl Harbor is a reasonable point.
- simplicio 10y agoThe Japanese also used ground troops to take over several Aleutian Islands during WWII.
- dragonwriter 10y agoPancho Villa's raid on Columbus, NM, a few decades earlier was clearly an army, and well after 1812.
