The Korean "Conflict" ended in a draw at best, since Korea is still split in half. Some people would regard that as a loss because half is communist. Vietnam was a clear loss--we got our butts kicked.
Don't tell me the Cold War. that was a stalemate for the most part. The Soviet Union and Eastern Europe imploded upon itself and more due to internal forces and people like Lech Walesa and the influence of the Pope. Last time I looked, Red China, North Korea and Vietnam were all still communist.
First Gulf War? Yeah, we moved that third world country back out of Kuwait but Saddam was still ruler for 10+ years after, and we may have suffered the 911 attacks partly because of our involvement in the Mideast and the hatred we engendered. And now? We are locked in a hopeless stalemate with fanatics that will never give up, and are really just creating more terrorism for ourselves. So by my count, World War II was the last real war we won. That's not a good record.
