Sorry, but comparing WWII and the Marshal Plan to “military” nation building as “unofficially” defined today (because it is unconstitutional) is not even close. The Germans in the Atlantic and the Japanese in the Pacific “DECLARED WAR” against the sovereignity of the United States and acted upon their declarations. We soldiers jumped into action and did what we’re constitutionally obligated to do in such instances. We battled them into an official international surrender and we CAME HOME! The rest was essentially political and civilian contract operations on the backs of American taxpayers.

Exempting Korea, medling into the governments of Iran (late 40′s and 50′s), Vietnam (40′s,50′s and 60′s), Pananma, Grenada (slightly different circumstances), Lebanon, Kosovo/Bosnia, Iraq and now Afghanistan, were and are an unconstitutional political effort of escalating “military” nation building under the covenants of the UN.
