1812
We won the war of 1812. The treaty of Ghent basically said, "reset to prewar conditions, but US also gets fishing rights in the Gulf of St. Lawrence." A marginal victory, but a victory none the less.
Grenada
WTF? Didn't you see "Heartbreak Ridge?" We won this one too, thanks to Clint Eastwood and other hard-charging recon Marines.
Civil War
Our national government won this one. The government which is in power now is a continuation of that government, while the revolting government was destroyed. So we won this one too, unless you are a big fan of slavery, then I could see how you would think that we lost.
Pearl Harbor
Yes, we lost a battle when we didn't even know we were at war. But we still won the war, which is what matters.
Viet Nam
We kicked ass in PvP. Only about 59,000 Americans died, while they suffered 1-3 MILLION deaths. We didn't lose, we just got bored and decided to log off and play something else.
Space Race pt 1
Similar to Pearl Harbor. We didn't know we were in a space race till Sputnik was launched. After losing the opening battle, we still ended up winning the war with the commies not even being close to landing on the moon.
1929
What?
