With Iraq.... The freedom of another country was violated, and because the oil of Kuwait and more importantly Saudi Arabia helps to protect and defend our freedoms by selling us their oil - which was threatened.
So year, in both cases, we are fighting for for our freedoms.
You can even argue that in Vietnam we were fighting for our freedoms. Was Vietnam threatening the freedoms we have in the United States? Not at all. But communism was, and Vietnam was where we decided to make a stand. You can argue we lost Vietnam - I believe we did - but you can also argue that if we didn't make a stand in Vietnam, communism would been bold enough to strike out in Europe... So yeah, we were fighting for our freedom in Vietnam in a way.

i know ONLY americans have the right to defend "freedoms" and that america does not attack anybody at all (
) nor exploit (
)
BUT
how do you live with the double standard?
so if avghanistan, just for example, were to develop some brilliant super weapon, and considering you attack them left and right and SERIOUSLY ENDANGER THEIR FREEDOM(S) does that give them full right to bomb you back in to the stone age like you did them?
(do not worry you double standard american, I do not really expect an answer, because you are not capable of giving one, just rubbing the double standard in your face)
happy memorial day to the ww2 crew, you indeed fought a brave battle
happy "trail along on other peoples glory and hope some rubs off" day to todays paid wannabe hero-mercenaries of the US army
