And I would not assume that the country is eager to get into another war.

Agreed. Bush 43's wars may not have been crisis wars, but the indefinite length of the so called war on terror along with the stress that it put on the military have made us really reluctant to put boots on the ground. For years a unit who had just seen a deployment almost immediately had to get ready for another deployment. The result of the wars was quite arguably worse than what was there before. Neo Colonialism is not a win.

I could see a sea war should China start something with Japan, Taiwan or the East China Sea, but you would have trouble campaigning on starting such a war.
