America and its "wars against...."

America hasn't won any war since WWII, and that includes wars against drugs, countries, people, religions, etc. I highly doubt they won this one. I remember "mission accomplished"

Russians did most of the winning in WWII too. What with being on the other side of the ocean and all

I mean there is an argument that though they lost a lot of battles they did eventually win the cold war.

We don't start or lose them either.

Tell that to generations of First Nations peoples.

That's not a war. That's a slaughter.

On one hand, I'd argue it was the British who started that.

On the other hand, we definitely didn't stop it.
