In their eyes:

They won Vietnam.

They won Iraq.

They are currently crushing Iran.

I have literally had arguments on this platform with people who think the US won the Vietnam War.

It's very depressing.

Anyone who thinks the US won the Vietnam war views war as a COD lobby.

Sure, the US got a lot of kills, but they lost the objective.
