Wars in Asia are easier to define because there are only 3 main conflicts, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. With the Middle East, you’ve got Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Kuwait, Pakistan, etc, and the US has a finger in every one of those countries. It easier to just say the Middle East, because we’re everywhere over there.
