Vietnam - We never lost a single battle. We didn't "lose" Vietnam, but pulled out because of political reasons. There wasn't enough public support.

Iraq - Removed their government from power and destroyed their military. In 2019 there was one attack on US forces, a bombing, that resulted in three American KIAs.

Afghanistan - Removed their government from power and destroyed their little military. Again, this year there was one attack that resulted in three American KIAs.

With Iraq and Afghanistan we tend to call this a "war" but it's really not.... It's an occupation (if that). One bomb attack in six months is not a war but instead a single terrorist attack.

We would have beat Vietnam too if our politicians allowed the military to do it's job. The politicians refused to allow our military to attack Northern Vietnam and the surrounding countries. The final battle of Vietnam, the Tet Offensive, was a massive surprise attack that ended in complete failure.

The advances in technology since these wars have been fought have increased greatly, giving the United States yet even a bigger advantage.
