if any of these (or more) counts, then I admit my understanding/definition of war and US soil (and terrorism) is way off

Post Civil War, remember?
You got most of them minus espionage, domestic terrorism, the one the TS mentioned, and the error in the year of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
