Maybe we should have less wars?

Just spitballing here.

I absolutely agree, I'm conservative and am fine with cutting 80% of our foreign military activity.

Using that money to help folk here including veterans.

I feel like agreeing is some sorta trap for some reason.

All I know is I protested the Iraq war and I protested our involvement with the "moderates" in Syria.

I don't think it's a trap.

I was only 9 when we invaded Iraq, I wasn't in much of a position to protest.

But seeing for the majority of my life, how that played out, along with studying American history and our involvement in other countries the last ~70ish years has made me a borderline military pacifist. We spent some 10-20 trillion on an endless war that got us absolutely nothing, and killed millions of people across the world. What Americans life was positively impacted from that?

I'm almost always going to say to stay out of foreign conflicts going onward.
