A somewhat more comprehensive list of minor 'interventions' or 'showing of force' as opposed to actual troop invasions lasting at least several days may be found here:
Timeline of United States military operations - Wikipedia

Please note I am not arguing that either all or none of these invasions were justified. I leave it to the reader, their political acumen, and their conscience to discriminate between one and the other.
