The US Air Force & US Navy are strategic forces; they can traverse the globe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year...year after year. The US Army (The US Marine Corps are part of the US Navy) is a tactical force; it can ONLY fight when & where the Air Force or Navy puts them. During the cold war, US strategies involved the USAF/USN constantly patrolling the globe (earth); the USAF was armed with SAC (Strategic Air Command) B-52 Stratofortess bombers, each loaded with an Atomic Weapon, these bombers were airborne 24-7 on a rotation basis. In the continental US, buried deep beneath the earth were USAF ICBM's in missile silos (Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles). The USN patrolled the oceans with nuclear powered submarines: Boomers & Fast Attack. Boomers were armed with naval versions of ICBMs; Fast Attack subs were hunter killer subs, designed to kill Soviet submarines.

Firstly, both countries engaged in impressment, forcibly recruiting American sailors into their respective navies, which undermined American sovereignty. Secondly, both countries seized American ships and cargo, disrupting American trade and economy. Lastly, the conflict antagonized Native American tribes, leading to increased hostilities on the US western frontier. All these factors collectively endangered the security and interests of the United States.

At the height of world war 2, about 100,000Americans claimed membership in the communist party.
