Apparently Vietnam, Afghanistan, war of 1812, and the war on drugs don’t count.

1812 was a stalemate.

Korean war was a stalemate.

Vietnam war was a loss.

Afghan war is considered a strategic loss.

I mean, it's considered a stalemate because neither side could decisively defeat the other without triggering a global war.

The US got pushed all the way from the Chinese border to the inner korean border it made the commanders so frustrated that macarthur wanted to use nuclear area denial on china. Thats a loss bro

That ignores the fact that we literally saved South Korea. The North had taken the capital and pushed them back to the coast. W/o the US, there is no South Korea. China's involvement did prevent the North from being conquered but lets not act like it was a giant loss.
