So ... I wonder which party is the War Party!!!

By temperament and by inclination, the Party that is home to most conservatives.

Like the list of cities with Dem mayors this is another list alleging that association is causation.

It is unlikely that a GOP president would have avoided our involvement in WWI.

1916 presidential campaign:

Hughes criticized Wilson for not taking the "necessary preparations" to face a conflict, which only served to strengthen Wilson's image as an anti-war candidate.

The fall of France and the Battle of Britain had weakened isolationists in both Parties and no president would have reacted to the attack on Pearl Harbor any differently. Our participation in WWII was unavoidable.

It was the GOP that was beating the drums about Truman 'losing China'; think about that statement. Does it suggest a Party that would not intervene in Korea …..to prevent another 'lost country'.

1964: Does this sound like a guy who would have countenanced losing another country? The Domino Theory was widely shared by those in both Parties and the Gulf of Tonkin resolution was voted for by every Republican in both Houses. Two Dems voted against in the Senate.

In December 1961, Goldwater told a news conference that "sometimes I think this country would be better off if we could just saw off the Eastern Seaboard and let it float out to sea", a remark which indicated his dislike of the liberal economic and social policies that were often associated with that part of the nation. That comment came back to haunt him, in the form of a Johnson television commercial,[12] as did remarks about making Social Security voluntary[13] and selling the Tennessee Valley Authority. In his most famous verbal gaffe, Goldwater once joked that the U.S. military should "lob one [a nuclear bomb] into the men's room of the Kremlin" in the Soviet Union.

Nixon's secret plan was to replace American bodies with Vietnamese bodies. The secret bombing of Cambodia was, unhelpful.

21,194 of the names on the Vietnam Wall are of those who died during Nixon's terms. Over a 100K were WIA during his tenure.

It's unlikely that a GOP president would have not intervened in Bosnia, based upon the reasons I've already listed.

A fairer conclusion from your list would be that America is the war country.
