Did USA even win any war except the war between North and South?

ColdWarrior

The war against Spain
The war against Mexico
The war against North Korea & China (Allied forces were in low number)
Military victory in Vietnam (can be discussed, of course).

Let's start with the Revolutionary War, known as the war for American Independence. Wait, read a little history...the French (all 7 ships) arrived only 3 weeks before Gen. Cornwallis surrounded To Gen. Washington and took credit even though they had promised to join the war 3 years earlier....typical French battle plan!

Then we (meaning colonial Americans, including my ancestors) again defeated the British Empire during the War of 1812. Throw in the Spanish-American War, the defeat of Mexico (Maximilian and Isabella), and yes the Indian Plains War. Obviously WWI and WWII and the Korean War (Police action - the UN's name) I put WWI& II and Korea the US in the win column because without the industrial might, production of war equipment...including the Atomic Bomb...the "bad guys" might still have the lands they the`conqured. And if you haven't figured it out, America led a "larger group" to victory because it was called a World War.

And let's conclude with American led coalition that obliterated the million man Iraqi army that parked their Republican guard tanks next to Muslim holy sites, hospitals, schools civilian population centers.

Another student who went to a government school and failed to pick up a history book. Let me see, does the War of 1812 ring any bells? And there was the good old War with Mexico in the 1840's. Oh yes, lets not leave out the Spanish-American war, somewhere around 1894 or so. Teddy Roosevelt, San Juan Hill, Rough riders, ring any bells? I know that was a little before your time, that's why it's called History.

One war we won that always gets over looked is the Cold War. We brought the Russians to their knees and for decades protected a continent of ungrateful Europeans from being over run and having the 'Hammer and Sickle' fly above there capitals. By the way we didn't loss in Vietnam, sorry libs.

Nobody has mentioned the REVOLUTIONARY war yet ....gosh people!

chris

Mr.Wise

The U.S., militarily, has NEVER lost a war. There were a couple fiasco attempts at Canada that failed however, but no war.

YES

Remember Vietnam and Lebanon was too hot for them to stay.

Well Vietnam wasn't a war. It was a police action.

It also really depends on what you mean by win.

Pretty much every war (war on drugs included) after the American revolution, was not about freedom, winning or protection, but about money.

War is the best way to generate profits. Invest in arms and weapons, sell to both sides, if your involved use it to increase the value of your dollar...It is very rare that a standing army ever fights for anything but money.

Only citizens militias.
