What are we now defending with a murderous administration in office and a GOP in power right now. They will not take care of our wounded nor truly honor our dead except as a PR tool.

The last war that was justified was WWII, and the US didnt want to get into the European side for a very long time. In the Pacific we were actually attacked which also justified going to war.
