What defines a "good" war, as opposed to "bad" wars like Vietnam and iraq?

This should give the progressives here a chance to smash anyone who supported the USA's involvement in either.

Simply put, what does it take to make a war, any war, a "good" war?

If you want to, you can even declare whether or not you, personally,

have ever served.
