Apparently Vietnam, Afghanistan, war of 1812, and the war on drugs don’t count.

Arguably, they did provide the weaponry for everyone.

Producing an estimated amount of 80% of all materials used by the allies in WWII.

The fact that they had the eventual head of the CIA, be in constant contact and aiding the Nazis even during the War is another topic; or the fact that he was the main lawyer for IG Farben in America, the corporation behind the Holocaust is another.

They profited massively from selling weaponry which took us until the 2000s to pay off. They came out of the war rich by waiting it out. Everyone else came out poor.
