As of June 7, 2010, the Afghanistan is officially the longest war in American history. It began October 7, 2001 and has not ended yet. Before that, the Vietnam War was the longest war in American history. It lasted 103 months.
Others claim the Korean War is the longest because it never officially ended, we only signed a cease fire with them.

Second Opinion (different User):
The Korean war technically has not ended, making it the longest war, by far, in American History. It "ended" with an armistice, which is really just a truce. A truce means that all hostilities are stopped, but the war is not over. Afghanistan is the longest war if you only count months of active conflict. Technically the Korean war is ongoing though, making it the longest war in our history.

∙ 13y agoThe second longest war in U.S. history to date was the War in Vietnam. In June 2010 Operation Enduring Freedom(The War In Afghanistan surpassed the Vietnam War for the longest in US History.
If you count the "Cold War" as a war then Operation Enduring Freedom would be the second longest war in US History.

∙ 13y agoThe longest American war was the Vietnam War which lasted for 25 years (1945-1975). America entered the war in 1959.
[correction]
that's not even close to the right answer. There are alot of different angles but the US did not enter the war until 1965. Technically war can only be declared by Congress so the last official war was WWII.
No,
Really it was Korean war, which never officially ended. WE just signed a cease fire. we are still at war today.

∙ 13y agoThe Korean war is the longest because it was never won by either side. There is just a "cease fire" for now. American bases are still at the border and are just keeping a look out just in case the north tries anything.
