how many wars are we in today?

The number is still 19, according to the latest presidential letter to Congress reporting on troops deployed abroad equipped for combat.

There's really no news here, just a reminder that U.S. forces are still engaged in operations around the globe, most with no end in sight.

Congress can't complain, as some members did after U.S.military deaths in Niger a couple of years ago, that they haven't been told.

Regrettably,there is still insufficient political will to replace the 2001 AUMF with something that actually deals with the situations where 3 presidents have sent forces.
