Civil War.
The only war on American Soil was the American Revolutionary War, and the Civil War.
Why has there never been a war on American Soil? Debate MPGHieans.

As aforementioned above, you forgot the civil war.
Countries are terrified of us because EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER owns a gun. If they invade, they have THE ENTIRE COUNTRY against them. Americans are very self-entitled people, if you try to invade, they're not going to be happy.
Also, think of the millions of connections these gangbangers have. Those countries are busting in on their profits, and they have connections to the cartels all over the world. Now you've got people close to the invading country who are pissed because they're losing mad profits.
On top of this, we're one of the leading countries in technological advancement for military purposes. You invade, we blow up the fuck out of your country.
Lastly, we dictate the worlds economy. We keep it afloat. We give more money to other countries than we give to our own people (which is pathetic), so now you have all of these countries who aren't getting money anymore. Either A) they collapse, or B) they get PISSED and come after you.
French and Indian war, Civil War. Forgot those.

War of 1812, and the most recent invasion on American soil, I think, being the Aleutian Islands Campaign during WW2 where the Japanese invaded parts of Alaska. Russia has more nukes than us? Don't really care seeing if they drop one on us, or vise versa, were both fucked. Yeah Russia, I'm so scared of their ONE aircraft carrier.

Russia's nukes are over forty years old. We have the neutrino bomb. We also have a laser defense system to detonate any WED's heading towards US soil. The only nukes we need to worry about from Russia are the ones they can't seem to "find" *cough*Terrorists*cough*.
You forgot the Bloods vs. Crips. That was a big war.
War on drugs on American soil?

To answer the question, America played the part of a "neutral" nation.
It wasn't until WWI that we got involved internationally for our military.
--------------------
Excluding WWII, all the other wars after that were against smaller countries with no means to pull off a full-scale invasion of America.

If you are trying to raise a point here, I don't suggest it.
