	Taking the definition of "war" a little loosely here, aren't we?

	CoolBeans:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 23:44 GMT	12 points
	Many of these are not wars. Especially the "War on Terror".

	Robert_Seth:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 23:55 GMT	5 points
	"enemy" is a somewhat unclear heading, because the home team is not always the same

	Also, all of the Native American-American/European conflicts were sparked by the Americans/Europeans attacking the people for no reason other than greed.

	"Revolutionary War" needs more alternates. American Revolution, War for Independence, etc.

	The Japanese attacked Kiska and Attu (two Aleutian islands in Alaska) during WWII. So there is another WWII attack on US soil.

	there's a reason these rebellions are so named, it's because they're rebellions and not wars.

	If you're including rebellions, you may want to consider any occaison the military was called in, like the New York City draft riots that occured during the Civil War but were not part of it because it was US troops against New Yorkers, not Confederates. Also, since you included the Whiskey Rebellion, what about the Little Rock incident? No shots were fired by the army in either case. Also, you should include Bleeding Kansas.

	I agree that Bleeding Kansas should really be here. And to put the silly people complaining that these are not all exactly "wars" at ease, you could change it to "conflicts." Just a suggestion.

	December 6, 1941...A date which will live in infamy.

	Yankee-Pennamite War?

	Hamburger:	Apr 5th, 2010 at 08:14 GMT	2 points
