I'll answer your first two -
USS Cole was 1999. That was a direct attack on American's miltary. 9/11 - that was a direct attack on the American citizens. Both of those came from external threats within the last 10-15 years. Luckily, we dealt with them.
Additionally, the military has brough assistance to less fortunate people around the world for decades. That's more of an accomplishment than you have done.
As for external threats in the last 30 years, do you not remember that the Soviet Union didn't dissolve until the very end of 1991? That is only 21 years ago. Russia still has nuclear missles aimed at the US. I'd call that an external threat still.
