Currently the USA is involved in Middle East Wars using mercenary troops. Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria are lost causes.

Rome fell in part because it relied on mercenary troops. The factors that got us in thee wars were idealistic crusaders who believe democracy can be exported and cynical arms and oil merchants who want the money. When will we ever learn?,
