Thread Name: BS: Has America ever won a war?
Subject: BS: Has America ever won a war?
Contentious I know and no one ever realy wins a war anyway. But son #3 said earlier that he heard someone on TV saying that America had never lost a war. So, he got to thinking and looking on the web and could not find a single instance of America winning a war on her own!
Right from the war of Independance, where they were assisted by the French to Iraq where they are part of a coilition. WW1, WW2 - Both allied force victories. I think they did loose the war against Canada on their own but had help with making a mess in Korea and Vietnam.
Not getting at anyone here, truthfuly. Genuine academic interest. And to prove it I am quite happy to ask the same question of Englands forces or those any other country.
Or can anyone even just point me at a good website?
Going to bed now and expect the flames tomorrow. I shall try to sepeate the chaff from the wheat!
Cheers
