| Sumario: | Americans have been almost constantly at war since 1917. In addition to two world wars, the United States has fought proxy wars, propaganda wars, and a ""war on terror, "" among others. But even with the constant presence of war in American life, much of what Americans remember about those conflicts comes from Hollywood depictions.

That is, our feelings about war. |
