certainly not WWI. The party was as good as over by the time we got there.
WWII, for sure, and Hitler, Mussolini and the rest of the Fascists found out the hard way.
Korea? the fact there is a country called "NORTH Korea" speaks volumes.
How about Cuba????? there sits Castro 90 miles off of our coast, outlasting every American president since Ike.
Vietnam??? did you forget about the fall of Saigon? if that wasn't running, what do you call it????
how about Iran during the hostage crisis??? HELLO??
and I won't even bring up Saddam, who was left INTACT after the first waste of taxpayers money in Iraq.
so...where are those colors NOT running?

Another example is Lebanon. Whenever I hear George Bush talking about not wanting to cut and run, I always think of Reagan. As soon as the Marines were killed in Lebanon, we were out of there in two seconds flat. And of course Clinton pulled out of Somalia when we were attacked also. It is hard for Americans to admit that we are not all-powerful, and we have to choose our fights just like any other nation in history. Phrases like "these colors don't run" are just rhetoric to justify staying in a situation without analyzing whether it makes sense to do so. Such phrases are meant to label anyone who opposes whatever military action we are involved in as a coward or anti-American. In fact, history shows as you point out that we don't fight every possible fight, and we do back down sometimes, and we even admit defeat sometimes.

These people are at home sitting safely in their recliners while our soldiers are busy killing and being killed. They don't know what they are talking about. It is their way of trying to control a situation so that our soldiers remain in a Country on a useless mission. We will have an on-slaught of Iraqi's in the Country as soon as this war is declared over - maybe that is why the Religious rights and Republicans want us to stay and not 'run'.
Don't blame them for that.

It is a euphemism for "we are not cowards." Of course, merely saying it does not make it true. As an aside, I remember seeing bumper stickers with this phrase and a badly faded American flag printed on it. Apparently, the colors don't run, but they fade.
