We will never know about Korea, but my finely honed Spidey senses inform me that a unified DPRK wasn't the end goal, and the world is probably better off with a healthy, vibrant ROK.

As far as the Gulf, people tend to forget that the first Gulf wah was 33 years ago, some 10 years before the miracle of hydraulic fracturing began to decrease our dependence on imports.
I remember a lot of things about G1 including a bunch of idealists saying how unfortunate it was that we were 'going to war over oil.'
I've also been in parts of the US where the gasoline spigot was turned off for a couple of weeks because no roads were open and the electricity and telecommunications were also turned off.
It's easy to be the best football coach in the world.......on Monday morning, but I will tell you this much:
NOT all of the people who protested with their "No War for Oil!" signs walked to the demonstrations and IN 1990 those same dreamy eyed idealists would have demanded that "somebody do something NOW!!!" if the oil imports were disrupted by a management change in some of the other OPEC nations because we failed to intervene (WITH HELP!!!) with the first such attempt.
I seem also to remember that there was something called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics back then and it sort of went away very shortly thereafter.
Hmmmmm.....

You can make an argument about Gulf 2.
I'll probably argue back since I was THERE too, and we have Styria and the birth of the Wagner group as examples of how NOT to deal with dictatorships. Also (since nobody has been keeping track!) about a quarter of the world's uranium production has also recently come under new ownership.
You can make an argument about the 'Stan too - but remember how the Kabul skydiving club got started in 2021, and how millions of schoolgirls and college educated women are now living under the sweet tender mercies of that old fashioned 10th century tribal law disguising itself as a religion.

SO.....what about Ukraine?
Israel?
The Philippines?
Guiana?

i wouldn't serve my country in any of those places. but looking back 50 years from now, i might change my mind, who knows?
