I never promised you anything. And American military actions are known to all. But out of slight boredom with the monotony of your incessant whining, and with only the barest hint of curiosity about what you intend to do with the obvious information once its provided, here then is your holy grail:
(Notifying you in advance: Of what I'm sure with be your voluminous and unhinged reaction, I'll only respond to that tiny fraction which surprises all by containing some vestige of intelligence and character. I really am completely bored with you.)
1945 -- China. In October 50,000 U.S. Marines were sent to North China to assist Chinese Nationalist authorities in disarming and repatriating the Japanese in China and in controlling ports, railroads, and airfields. This was in addition to approximately 60,000 U.S. forces remaining in China at the end of World War II.
1948 -- Berlin. After the Soviet Union established a land blockade of the U.S., British, and French sectors of Berlin on June 24, 1948, the United States and its allies airlifted supplies to Berlin until after the blockade was lifted in May 1949.
1950-53 -- Korean War. The United States responded to North Korean invasion of South Korea by going to its assistance, pursuant to United Nations Security Council resolutions.
1950-55 -- Formosa (Taiwan). In June 1950 at the beginning of the Korean War, President Truman ordered the U.S. Seventh Fleet to prevent Chinese Communist attacks upon Formosa.
