I dont know about wining but USA has waged a war at least twice every decade since the end of 1945 directly or through proxy. There are countless political assasinations and coups also in its list of crimes. The only reason why USA is not blacklisted is because it wields so much power. There is only power but no legitimacy at all.

None. Congress has not declared war since 1941.
If we count all military engagements we have:
Korea 1950 (not even authorized by congress): a tie
Lebanon 1958: Doesn't really count as we deployed 14,000 troops and the fighting stopped as soon as they arrived. U.S. suffered only one combat fatality.
Vietnam 1964: clear loss
Lebanon 1982: Peace keepers -> doesn't count.
Panama 1989: win
Iraq 1991: win
Afganistan 2001: win ( I guess )
Iraq 2002: ongoing.
So by my count that is three wins, one loss, and a tie with one still in progress.

as a results of fact our objective is to make money for inner maximum firms in spite of the socio-financial or political value. From the attitude of the adult males who planned it, WE gained VIETNAM. don't think me? Then why is there a McDonald's in Ho Chi Mien city? purely like the present Iraq conflict, the objective of our leaders on no account is to beat with the aid of rigidity. it is to generate money for inner maximum firms with the aid of governmental contracts, the two foreign places and kin. the generic public is enthusiastic approximately conflict as a results of fact the generic American consumes 11.7 hours of media an afternoon. the generic newborn consumes very almost two times as many hours of television in an afternoon than they attend college. The media in us of a of america is owned with the aid of a similar shareholders who run the protection agencies which perpetuates a fashion of life of violence and greed.

Korea was a standoff thanks to the politicians. The Bay of Pigs was a failure thanks to "military intelligence". Viet Nam was a failure thanks to the politicians. Grenada was a success, thanks to the politicians. The capture of Noriega was a success thanks to the military and politicians. Bosnia was a fiasco thanks to the politicians. Somalia was a disaster, no thanks to anybody. The rescue of the consulate captives in Tehran was a disaster thanks to the weather and poor planning. The release of the same on the day Reagan was sworn in should have said something. The fall of the Berlin Wall and the implosion of the USSR were victories for the West. Afghanistan is becoming a victory. The freeing of Kuwait was a victory. The turn around of Omar Khadafy and Libya was a victory. The capture of Hussein was a victory, and unless a democrat gets elected as president, we will win in Iraq.

1) Korean War (prevented south from being over run)
2) Gulf War (freed Kuwait, isolated Iraq from the world)
3) Cold War (not really a typical war but came very close to turning into one.....and America won it, by far).
These wars were not fought by America alone..HOWEVER, America was the largest fighting force on the American side (especially the Korean War).

If you're serious it would be nice if you were to define "won" as on a "forum" like this one there will be a wide range of definitions employed by people answering the question.

america is so brave that lately all the countries it invaded had no air-force at all...i wonder who calls it a victory to just fly by and drop some bombs, (any way if they don't their wives back home would make their use in their s-i-s-s-y vaginas) iraq, afghanistan and now backing up with israel to victimize lebanese innoscents. c'mon be a man find a country with at least a single fighter jet, to face the competition...war on terrorism simply bu LL sh IT...
