Military history of the United States

The United States has a long history of fighting wars. A war is when two or more countries fight over something. The United States has been involved in lots of wars throughout its history. Many of these wars were to protect our freedom or to help other countries, while others were to gain new land or resources. Some of the most important wars the United States has fought include the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I and II, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The military is made up of brave men and women who are willing to fight, and sometimes die, for their country. They receive training to fight, and they use many different kinds of weapons and equipment. They are very important to the United States, and without them, the United States would not be able to protect its people and freedom.
