    My father served in WWII and Korea, USN. He was upset because he was given his North Atlantic campaign ribbon (detached service, North Atlantic Convoy) and his Pacific campaign ribbon (mainly milk runs from California to Hawai'i, then later Hawai'i to Japan after the war), but he was denied his Mediterranean campaign ribbon due to being two weeks short of the mark ... but that service was when he was being shot at, as he was doing runs to supply the Anzio landing.

      Have you seen the alternative? The socialists will claim that real socialism has never been tried before, same for the communists, they all claim that the brutal dictatorships were not true communisms, true socialisms, yet there is not a single government that embodies “real socialism” “real “communism, only pieces of paper and modern socialists that say that Hitler and Stalin weren’t real socialists, that Mao Zedong and Pol Pot weren’t real communists. Everybody back then stated that Hitler and Stalin were real socialists, before their crimes against humanity and the wars they started were brought to light, they were called socialists, same for Mao and Pol. It’s only after we know the truth about them that the left states that they are not real socialists, not real communists. So please name a legitimate alternative to American Democracy, the American Republic.

      Anyhow, probably the biggest lesson America has learned from WW1 and WW2 was that it had to step up to promote global peace and freedom. Yeah, the Cold War is prolly hotter than WW2 because it involved more of the world more than WW2 ever did, but at least more peaceful ways of contest were employed. What about freedom? Well, decolonization happened left and right, and the Great Powers of Europe got screwed over by their colonies, one way or another (think of the French and the Vietnamese, and the British and the Egyptians). All those "mistakes" it did were ultimately justified because it kinda ended well for the world.
      Meanwhile, "beating" the Soviet Union gave America a different lesson; from the 90s onwards, it has all the cards on the table, and can do whatever it wants. With a change of presidency it can appear extremely inept and weak on the global stage like it does now, and on the other appear as if an omnipotent world policeman. It perfected that lesson HARD. Reminds me of the Global War on Terror.
      This China crisis can be resolved by choking the right trade lanes. The Ukraine crisis can be resolved by boots on the ground at this point in time. It could've even been resolved by a strong deterrence before it even started. The Israel situation can be resolved with a change to a president who's actually intimidating and walks the talk occasionally to keep up the facade. America could do that, but I've got the suspicion that it, or at least its elites, they don't want to at the moment, because they are interested in other things. California, for God's sake, only cleaned its streets for Xi Jinping of all people. Some elites make career of advocating for war, others for accommodating the underprivileged, others for lining the Treasury with as many Benjamins as possible, others for God knows what. All of this has become just a game for America, especially since the 90s, my fellow RUclips commenter. America can do whatever it wants, and is so privileged that in the face of the absolute power it had since beating the Soviets (it still had some degree of absolute power right now), a mistake or a hundred don't exactly mean much.
