Can the United States still be proud after all these black eyes?

Didn't win in the Korean war. Got beat in Vietnam. Can't win in Iraq. Can't win in Afghanistan. ( Note: Troops having a hard time beating people with basic weapons in Afghanistan) Then in Somalia the USA quit when American troops got dragged through the streets. ................. ( Remember Black Hawk down) This happen in Oct 1993.

We didnt loose vietnam. Our goal was to get a peace treaty and we did. But we didnt know N. Vietnam would defy it and attack the south. We won vietnam in every significant battle. Vietnam War was won militarily. Korea we pushed the whole way up to china and ended on a truce. How can you consider a lost with a truce. And black hawk down was a battle not a war and we accomplished our goal and killed 1000's of somalis. But we did loose 19 soldiers but with that amount killed it was a amazing battle which showed how well US forces were trained. We arent loosing in iraq or afghanistan cause we destroyed their military in both countries they are just doing terrorist attacks which means they lost the war and know it.

Vietnam was lost on the streets in the US.
You win wars when you kill the enemy.
You can't be a gentleman and win a war.
George S Patton understood this and that is why he beat the hell out of the Germans and if he had his way he would have beat the hell out of the Russians while we were still in Europe saving a lot of the trouble that we had during the cold war.

With that Liberal Democrat pu$$y in the White House right now no one should be surprised that a dirt poor pirate from Somalia is brazen enough to take a US citizen hostage in a row boat and dictate the terms for their safe return.

Hateful anti-Americans like yourself worship 0bama, but don't understand basic US history or even current events.

The US-led UN forces won in Korea. It was never the goal to completely vanquish the North.

The US military effectively won the Vietnam War. It was only after our troops pulled out and the Democrats in the Congress cut off aid to our allies in the South that the North Vietnamese overran the South.

We have basically won in Iraq, even though your hero 0bama voted against the Surge, which is what won the war. If 0bama had his way, we would have lost in Iraq.

Somalia was never a "war" - it was a peacekeeping mission. When those black Muslim savages bit the hand that was feeding it, Democrat president BJ Clinton pulled out in fear. This encouraged Osama bin Laden to step up his attacks on the United States, leading ultimately to 9/11.

As for Afghanistan, if our NATO allies weren't a bunch of gutless cowards, we would be winning there as well. Unfortunately, most European countries are pathetically weak militarily now, and so they send us a few hundred cooks or trainers when what we really need are infantry units.

But don't let facts get in the way of your mindless 0bama-worship or anti-Americanism, you ignorant drone.

Well, Korea was a tie.
Iraq is winning.
Afghan will turn out as a win in 2-3 years.

The wimp Osama Bid Hiding seems to disagree with your views. We chased his sissy but into Pakistan, destroying most of his troops at the same time.

Usually your questions are mildly amusing (although offensive at the same time) but this one is pretty insulting. I'm not going to explain why I know you are wrong but I am going to tell you that I find what you said pretty offensive since I remember the vast improvement in Iraq during my three trips there.

If you love your country and support our new President like your screen name says then stop dragging the military through the mud.

Korea was never resolved so we didn't lose Korea we didn't lose Vietnam we just lost the public opinion of vietnam thanks to Hanoi Jane (fonda). We are winning in Afghanistan and in Iraq. We won in Somalia as well, you are probably one of those liberal NObama followers who thinks we should talk to North Korea about the fact that they launched the rocket after being told not to.

I don't think that winning or losing a war has anything to do with pride. Pride at least wasn't the official reason for any of those wars. Americans can proud to live in this country because of what it stands for… freedom of speech, the American Dream, Democracy, equal rights, etc.
I don't support Afghanistan nor Iraq, but there is just more to be proud of than those wars. Study American history and you will see what I mean!

1, we didn't get "beat" in Vietnam, we withdrew in a conflict. That's right, a conflict. We did not GO TO WAR with Vietnam, we aided allies. He haven't lost Afghanistan, and we've accomplished so much in Iraq, which, by the way, we're still in.

Seriously...get a different hobby.

well the usa didn't loose in Korea in my opinion. Iraq and Afghanistan are kinda different also. Its not really a direct war. I still am proud of the American army. but the military I'm most proud of I'd have to say is no military at all.

We did lose Korea but we are winning in iraq we are trying to help them build their own military in order to fight for their selves.

Do you know the fighting techniques its hard to defend yourself against suicide bombers.
