alt Hacker News>As an American, ... maintain world peace

I think you maybe believing that War would not have happened or there was some other approach without war, ever? I'm sorry but such beliefs are as wishful thinking as buying the world a coke.

What it tends to mean is “prevent the US homeland from being threatened” and “keep US trade flowing”

That's the consequence of a broken education system when it comes to teaching history. Empires rarely come to terms with what they did, and never while they're in power.
