Any examples except maybe Kuwait? Korea and Vietnam were for geopolitical reasons, "to stop communists taking too much power", Iraq was few people taking advantage of 9/11 to line their pockets with government procured money. Afghanistan was the latter again. Which American deployment directly safeguarded American commercial interests?
