1. Korea was a stalemate because of MacArthur pressed his luck
2. We were winning Vietnam but losing the PR battle
3. We knocked iraq's ass out TWICE within a month each time. Its the campaign to nation-build that hurt
4. Iran? Don't even get me started.
5. Afghanistan? Same as Iraq. We pushed the Taliban out without 2 months. Its the nation-building that hurt
Whats your point again?
you lost vietnam took your bags ran to helicopters and ran home.
iraq? the iraq army went home, the sectarian violence after you couldn't compete with, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was sonning america till he got caught .
afghanistan? taliban is stronger than ever
iran? america doesn't want it with iran, casualities would be to great, same reason why they haven't touched syria due to all those hezbollah fighters who do dirty fighting.
