The war on drugs, obviously.

I don't think we've declared war since WWII, so it's a trick question.
I'm gonna give the Jeopardy! answer instead of the political one you're looking for because this isn't the place for that.

conflicts since WWII have been more "preventative maintenance"

Thermal, WW2 was the last declaration of war. Everything else has been a military engagement

I might be wrong, but I couldn't find it on the Wikipedia.

Sorry, I tried to do my due diligence before posting that. But if I'm incorrect I apologize.

The war on poverty gave people a bunch of free shite

None. No one has fought for our "freedoms" since 1945, BUT if you say that you are an unpatriotic a-hole, rule is you can't shitcan a war until it's ten years after.

You're correct. We haven't declared war since WWII
Posted on 5/23/15 at 9:44 am to thermal9221
The president can't declare war on anyone. That's Congress' job.

None. But in my opinion every conflict since WW2 is what allows you to sit at home and post on a message board instead of sitting at the factory making products to keep yourself fed and housed. We provide security for the world and for that, we live the easy life. Without the security we provide, the world economy would not be as strong and our standard of living would be far lower.
ETA I'm not saying it's right or wrong just answering the question as asked.

The most recent skirmishes we have gotten in seem to be nothing more than a stage to show off our new, shiny combat toys ..

Strategically? All of them.
