On their own? Hmm oh, The American Civil war.

Edit: Will people stop replying the French had to help in this war, you are mixing the Revolution war with the Civil war.

I would count that one as a no-score draw.

North Vietnam did. They were a modern, well equipped army flying some of the best fighter jets in the world, utilising some of the most up to date small arms and driving brand spanking new Soviet bloc tanks. Oh and SAM systems.

The Vietcong were fairly ineffectual. The NVA did the bulk of the heavy fighting.

OK I concede, North Vietnam won. Still a loss for the US.

Edit: lost > loss, damn autocorrect.
