“With almost no public awareness, the military has been involved in wars and combat since 2001 in Somalia, Libya, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, South Sudan, Tunisia, Uganda, and, across the Red Sea, Yemen. In Africa, war has been the mission.”

“The idea of preemptive war became a key part of the justification for invading Iraq, which relied on soon-to-be-proven-false allegations that Saddam Hussein’s regime possessed chemical, nuclear, or other weapons of mass destruction (there were none).”
― David Vine, The United States of War: A Global History of America's Endless Conflicts, from Columbus to the Islamic State (California Series in Public Anthropology Book 48)
