Little practice for a superpower of their calibre.
They only fought against themselfs, third world countries who cant hit back and joined the two only worthwile wars at the very end, when there was hardly any serious fighting to do anymore
All the while they delude themselfs in regard to the role they played and the magnitude of their past achievements,

Thats why they keep losing their wars, despite having everything going for them

They aren't. Vietnam went commie because of domestic opposition to the conflict, not lack of military capability.

Official US kill count includes everyone in North Vietnam. That includes women, children, old people, etc all the civilians are considered enemy of the state by the US military.

This is why the US indiscriminately bombed everything in sight. This is why Mai Lai and that types of massacres happened regularly. Everyone not in South Vietnam uniform and US uniform was a combatant.
