I think, though, that the US didn't officially classify either of these as
"wars".  They were called "Police Actions" or something like that.
Semantics, I know.

Not true.  At least the part about Canada being the only nation.  The North
Koreans, with the help of our "friends" the Chinese, pretty much kicked our
a**es all along the Korean peninsula until the US - actually the UN -
suggested peace talks that resulted in a truce being declared and the DMZ
established.

Then there was that brief skirmish in South East Asia called Vietnam...
