Greece DID NOT participate in the Vietnam, Grenada, or in the second Iraq War.
ONLY USA attacked Grenada, none else!!
Greece as every other European participates only when there is a United Nations resolution.
Such as Afghanistan, Korea or the first Iraq war.
No European participated in the Vietnam war and very few (like Italy and Spain) did participated in the second Iraq war but they quickly withdraw when the war-friendly governments (like pathetic Italian Berlusconi and Spanish Athnar) lost elections from antiwar parties!.
So remove from the list countries such as Greece,Italy,Portugal, The Netherlands, (certainly they are not lame!!)
As for the small and unstable countries -that run like beggars behind USA- it is mainly for their corrupted governments or because they want to take a reward from their Overlord(aka USA).
(Please correct your list)

The wars we do not "win" were usurped by the Media! Once upon a time the phrase "Loose lips, sink ships" was enforced!
Add to that the fact that just like now, the US is the Country getting real Combat experience! This is studied, improved on and trained to new recruits! Real fighting experience is invaluable!
It is for this same reason, both the Iraqi's and Iranian's have been able to "Surprise" us! They have been actively at War for most of the last two decades, and it has been on their home turf!
Add to their experience the element of Cheap surprise assaults, and it gives them enough edge to take out our support troops!
That is why I am looking forward to the redeployment of our new, retrained and improved "Special Forces"!
Over 21,000 of them!!!!! With no protection for the dissidents like the last times!!!!!!
Can you say---"Pay Back"?

These countries are afraid of the terrorist threat and do not want to step to the front of the line.
You can be sure though....when the U.S. unleashes its full fire power against those nations which condone terrorists, all the above will be more than happy to step up to the plate.
The end is approaching quickly for the Islamo terrorists and the countries which afford them safe harbor.
The U.S. has reached the end of its rope with them and these countries will soon no longer exist.
