Invading or attacking (insert country here).
Vietnam and Iraq stand out due to the death toll. Vietnam took place in the context of the cold war. Iraq was totally inexcusable. We wrecked the middle east for Israel, and nobody was held responsible and the same media assholes That conned us into that disaster are now going after Americans and trying to do to America what they did to the Middle East.

Not including war, the Tuskegee syphilis experiment. American gov't wanted to study the effects of syphilis, so they experimented on people, and then didn't tell them there was a cure when it was available.
