Here’s how much of your life the United States has been at war
Washington Post - Philip Bump - May 25,2015

Quote:
<snip>
We used whole years for both the age and the war,
so the brief Gulf War is given a full year,
and World War II includes 1941.
These are estimates.

But the beginning of the conflict in Afghanistan in (late) 2001 means that
anyone born in the past 13 years has never known an America that isn't at war.
Anyone born after 1984 has likely seen America at war for at least half of his or her life.
And that's a lot of Americans

Upload a picture of a bird to Merlin, and it will ID the bird's type.
