Holy shit.
I'd like to see a timeline of that, showing which war, when. Also, there is *opportunity* for statistical shennanigans. The Korean war only ever saw a truce / ceasefire, not a peace treaty, so technically, that war is still ongoing. It'd be BS to count it, though.

Indian wars and banana wars fill in a lot of "blank" years. The Quasi War was with the French Republic. The Sabine Expedition was against Mexico.
For timeline look at- http://www.loonwatch.com/2011/12/we-...en-since-1776/

It's some bullshit definition of "war", including 6 years of Vietnam before any troops were actually sent there.

War on drugs, war on drunk driving, war on poverty, war on crabgrass.

We had military advisers there from 1950 on, but that is a stretch.

Ah, I suspected as much. Enter debate on what counts as "war". I remember three blokes from Texas declared the state independent, and then a few weeks later announced a permanent ceasefire in the "international struggle for the nation of Texas".
 Does that count?Still, if you go through and remove all the dubious cases, there's still an awful lot of war there.

It's like having a separate letter for every variation of pronunciation. I have a headache.

Now, with the US stock market topping 15,000, we've set enough records for this week.

The explanation: the labor force participation rate fell to 63.3 percent, its lowest level since 1979.
The chart shows the decline. Labor force participation is how many folks are in the game vs how many are in the stands. Unemployment is how many are sitting on the bench either because they suck or they are injured.
