      Korea

      The Korean War included the greatest retreat in US history, which was only stopped because we were fighting an enemy with barely any industrial capacity to resupply troops, or even supply them with enough radios, and we failed to achieve the objective of a unified Korea (letalone the bloodthirsty moron MacArthur’s objective of invading China and becoming the “ceasar of the east”).

      Kosovo, Yugoslavia

      We bombed a bunch of civilians, showed the world that our B2 stealth bomber could be shot down by 30 year old, man-portable AA. I’m still unsure what strategic use bombing embassies and apartments was.

      Greek civil war, Afghanistan Russian war, Arabian Israel wars

      America didn’t didn’t directly fight any of those.

      the war of 1812

      We lost that one, our objective was to take Spanish America, and we failed that. They also burned the whitehouse.

      WWI, WWII, Spanish American war

      Those the US did manage to achieve some of it’s objectives, but WWII was 80 years ago.

      American civil war, and the American revolution

      Those were primarily against other Americans.

        Yea the honerable mentions we’re just assists. War of 1812 was a war I wanted to mention as one we fought. American civil war is a war America objectively won. And the American revolution America objectively won.
