James Madison???
Yeah during his presidency we only got into a war with Britain over some bogus trade dispute. War of 1812.

The country was so unprepared that the British made it to Washington and nearly burned down the White House and the Capitol. General Andrew Jackson had to bail him and the country out.
However, I guess we can give Madison credit for getting Congress's approval to go to war and getting a declaration of war. Regardless, this Robert Scheer sounds like he smoking crack.
