>america has never lost a war Are they right?

No but they've lost very few which is still pretty impressive.

America gained the world but lost her soul.

>>76310872
Which ones did we lose?

>>76310915
Bay of Pigs Invasion, Red Cloud's War and arguably Vietnam.

>>76310884

>It should not have been surprising that young women would fall for the charms of these foreigners, but it wasn't too long before the sentiment in some quarters echoed that of the British cry that GIs were ''overpaid, oversexed and over here''.
>A new book, however, challenges the popular perception that when the Yanks came to town, it was only the easy and fast-living local girls who succumbed to those charms. Arrowsmith, who conducted her research for the book as part of a doctorate at Macquarie University, says the figures indicate that marriages between Australian women and American servicemen were not generally made in haste and challenged stereotypes which categorised these women as ''good time girls'' and ''one-night stands''.
>She writes that the women's backgrounds crossed all class boundaries, that most brides loyally waited two to four years to sail to the US at the end of the war during ''Operation War Bride'' and that few returned to live in Australia.

Just because you continue existing as a country doesn't mean you didn't still lose you fucking moron.

I guess Germany didn't lose WWI either because they weren't annexed by anyone.

Also wrong. It's like both you and >>76311470 are both retarded.

There are existential wars and there are non-existential wars. Typically, existential wars involve being invaded and possibly annexed, so if you lose... you really lose. Game over, you're Vichy France or worse, a partitioned Poland.

The USA has lost quite a few of its non-existential wars. We lost in Vietnam, we failed Iraq's occupation, and Korea was a half-success. Despite losing or half-losing many of those, our country was never threatened. Losing Vietnam didn't destroy the USA. We were, and are, fine.

>I guess Germany didn't lose WWI either because they weren't annexed by anyone.
They were completely at France and the UK's mercy, which came in the form of reparations. Their industry was puppeted and for the most part, they weren't a sovereign state. Their entire economic structure was put into a chastity belt, which caused hyperinflation and allowed Hitler to rise up based on the savage cucking.

Germany was puppeted about as hard after WW1 as the USA did to Japan after WW2, but in the latter case we opened up our economy, traded with them, and restructured their form of government in a positive way, not a punitive way. But it could have gone just like Germany did, if we were half as retarded as Britain and France.

Losing an existential war puts your entire country in the hands of foreigners. Just because it doesn't turn out badly doesn't mean that it couldn't have.

If you look at >>76311210 all the conflicts after WWII technically aren't wars as Congress approved troops but did not officially declare war.

We have, though. A couple times to Denmark even. But I guess the most significant time Sweden lost was to Russia during the Great Northern War.

We have won a bunch of times as well of course. Vietnam being the first that comes to mind.

>>76312487
The reason we went to war was to stop the british from aiding the anti-american-expansionist Tecumseh Confederacy, which we destroyed. Annexing Canada was almost an afterthought. Sort of a "lets see how far we can take this thing" kind of goal.

In a similar vein, the War in Iraq's goal was to remove Saddam, which was a success. Leaving behind a stable and democratic state was sort of an afterthought, which is part of the reason we fucked up so much on that account.

>>76314603
>we losing

No dude, Russia never reached Stockholm. In face NO ONE HAS. We have won every war.

>>76312432
>>76312473
I'd say we won in Iraq, since Saddam was killed. However, we only removed the Taliban from part of Afghanistan. They were never totally destroyed, so I wouldn't even call Afghanistan a pyrrhic victory.

Iraq was a real victory, since it was never our original war aim to create a stable democratic state. Like, if Japan fell into civil war and chaos after WWII, I wouldn't use that metric to say that we lost the War in the Pacific, even though we tried to stabilize Japan after V-J Day.

Stellar post.

I want to add that Americans were much better at picking their own fights and achieving their objectives in the past. The invasions of Grenada and Panama or the First Gulf War were examples of what a superpower can do in a short time. The world feared the USA. However, after the end of the Cold War, I don't know what happened with American leadership but their wars don't make sense anymore or they don't know what to do with their military power. Like the Somalian screw-up, arming mujahideen in Bosnia, siding with UÇK terrorists in Kosovo (an expensive price for Camp Bondsteel imo), the invasions of the 21st century, siding with Al Qaeda against Syria and so on. It's like the disappearance of the USSR confused them to this day.

Lol, once Britain had a war in Malaya but couldn't call it a war for insurance reasons so they called it the Malayan Emergency. It was basically the British vietnam except we just rounded up most the entire population and put them into camps until they decided to stop wanting communism.

The goal of the war was primarily to stop British impressment of American sailors. Ironically, it didn't need to be fought because Parliament voted to stop doing this about three months before war was declared, however in the days of sailing ships it took weeks to cross the Atlantic, so James Madison asked for a declaration of war while having no idea that Britain had ceased impressment.

The Malaya emergency was an exception in counter-insurgency wars. The point is that a large portion of Malayan communists were ethnic Chinese, and Southeast Asians don't complain when they are told it's Chink slaughtering season. So the British counted on the help of ethnic Malays and were totally successful.

>>76334626
>and Southeast Asians don't complain when they are told it's Chink slaughtering season
For example, Indonesia is well known for being a center of extreme McCarthyism and one of the few countries that explicitly bans communist parties and symbols. The 1965 coup resulted in the near-total obliteration of leftists in the country, and for the most part they just consider communism to be a front for Chinese imperialism.

>>76334626
The one exception to the rule is possibly Cambodia who are relatively pro-Beijing, in this case because they hate Vietnam more.
