U.S does not need wars internationally. Americans are at war with each other every day. I believe in the last ten years more murders took place in U.S than soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Red Lake massacre, United States, 2005’ Jeff Weise
"Weise shot and killed his grandfather and his grandfather's girlfriend, both police officers. He then proceeded to a local high school and fatally shot a security guard, five students, and a teacher, injured 15 others, and then committed suicide.."
Update:“ In the US, there are roughly 17,000 murders a year, of which about 15,000 are committed with firearms. And it's not just about murder. The non-gun-related suicide rate in the US (are additional killing) ….. Factor in firearms, and the rate is suddenly twice as high as the rest of the developed world.” Atlantic Review
