(12,654 posts)A lot of little "actions" in Central.America, West Asia, and Africa where, granted, those administrations didn't send the military directly, but we provided arms and "trainers", and a lot of civilians lost their lives. Lots of little proxy wars and rebellions were supported, mainly because Grenada proved to be a public relations bust. Lots of "plausible deniability" went on during the 80's.
The 90's started out with Desert Storm I and Bush 41 supporting one side of the Somali Civil War, which bled into the Clinton administration. Which also had its own issues in the Balkins, etc...
The era wasn't called the Cold War for nothing.
BTW, I was including Bush 43's Desert Storm II, "Blasts over Bagdad" when I talk about Bush adventurism.
