I agree. Easily takes the cake for worst war of choice in American history, with the invasion of Iraq and the Vietnam War in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively (IMHO). We’ll see if this one can bump one of the others off the list.

Speaking of a disastrous war of choice that almost destroyed the Republic.

A noble endeavor! I look forward to reading your posts.

Please add me. Military/Naval historian by training. Currently a historian at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Thanks!
