This world today is hesitant to start overt hundreds of thousands of soldiers boots on the ground wars because warfare has changed.
More nations than ever have nuclear capabilities, chemical capabilities, viral warfare and highly effective solitary terroristic kamikaze style actions of war are common now in relatively safe civilian areas.
We are always at war. At this very moment many countries including the USA have soldiers engaged in war.
Will it ever escalate again to the level of WW2 numbers of nations fighting? Maybe. Probably but with each generation of increased technology the rules and nature of war change and the carnage increases.
Boots on the ground in great numbers are no longer needed in the same way in many areas of the world.
