No one was without blame. Each side wanted a war. Each side wanted to win. I would say the North had more to do with the Civil war than the South, due to atagonistic writers and newspaper editors. Once won the South was returned to (on paper at least) it's normal position in the USA. However, the Solders and the Politicians fought for two different reasons. Most politicians wanted war, in the way a child want to punish others for their own selfish resons. Their resons for it are too complicated and diverse to discuss in this paper.
The poeple, on the other hand, believed they were fighting mainly against the evil that dared to commit such horendous crimes as to enslave men. Here 148 maines lost their lives.

Though the Mexicans were hardly in a position to actually provide a major threat to us, we accepted this as another justification. Soon we entered WWI at the cost of 2,457 Marine lives. Hardly enough reason there to say they died in deffence of American liberty.
WWII on the contrary, would be a better example of defending American Liberty. As in the Barbary wars, one of our primary reasons for entering the war was an aggressive strike from someone else. Which the Japenese provided with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Unlike in the sinking of the Lusitania, we were not warned by Japan at that moment.
With the threats of Japan and Germany's NAZI horror machine, trying to create a new world order, We felt justified to go to war in which 19,733 Marines gave their lives.
The next two wars were a failed attept to prevent communism from spreading. Both wars were not held in too high opinion with the American people. The Korean war was the least popular, since we had just finished WWII. Once North Korea invaded South Korea, the UN called several of its member states to assist South Korea. With several long retreats and no real permenant peace treaty signed, we exited the war with 4,267 marines …show more content…
The following quote from Jim Michaels, a military writer for USA TODAY, give us a status on the war. Quote,
“More than a decade of war and billions in US. funds to build up an Afghan military force have failed to defeat a Taliban insurgency that remains a threat across the country, according to interviews with US., NATO and Afghan military leaders.
Following the end of the US. military's combat mission last year, the Islamic radical insurgents have overrun dozens of checkpoints throughout the country and threatened entire districts. The army has rushed forces to take back terrain, but it doesn't have enough troops to defend every place under assault.”
We have been continuing in this war for years with no decisive end in sight.
Moving from the failures of the war, the total amount of marines killed so far is 4,359 and growing. Were all these deaths still necessary? According to Ali Meyer, a former Multimedia Reporter with CNS News, 92% of all marine deaths have occurred under Obama. Just a thought out
