If you think the U.S. lost Vietnam, you are mistaken. The U.S. never tried to occupy Vietnam nor would, it's racism would never want it. Vietnam was a political tool with 16:1 death tolls. And the 16 wasn't the U.S.
The outcome of war isn't determined by leaderboards. Are you that shallow a thinker? The US wasn't trying to maintain a client state? They went in there to do what exactly? For fun? For shitties and giggies?
Turn off of Call of Battledudy™ brainrot and get a an education, jesus christ...
Its pretty damning of the state of things to see someone shilling this in 2025 and on here of all places.
Lol
The US just kidnapped a sitting leader and made an absolute joke of Russian AA again.
Folks to this day still can't separate the military and nation building.
I don't think a compromised pre-negotiated operation where one side bribed the other to pull it's punches is an accurate way to assess military capability.
Sorry military fetishists but "Operation Forgetepstienfiles" wasn't impressive on any level.
Well actually it might be impressive that the US military managed to fly a formation of helicopters more than a hundred miles without crashing half of them. Bravo...
How many were killed in Iraq? And how many losses? Afghanistan? Iran?
