Wars in the last 40 years include:

- Lebanon, 1983 (Reagan)

- Persian Gulf, 1991 (Bush I)

- Afghanistan/Iraq, 2001/2003 (Bush II)

Then in the past 40 years, wars were not started under Clinton, Obama, and Trump.

Add Yugoslavia too in the 90s which started by Clinton, Syria intervention which started during Obama
In the US, wars are started by Congress, not the President. The conflicts I listed are the only wars authorized by Congress over the last 40 years. We can bring other conflicts into the discussion, but that’s a different standard than “war”.
