First Major War in His Lifetime

It just occurred to me that this is the first major war between civilized nations in my lifetime. US and Iraq twice don't count? The US isn't a civilized country.

A Twitter exchange mocks the claim that the war in Ukraine is the first major war between civilized nations in the speaker’s lifetime. A reply points out the Iraq War, and the punchline dismisses the United States itself as uncivilized. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to historical ignorance and American exceptionalism.
