I've been playing a bunch of games on bnet with a friend of mine who is french...his name is Mr.French...everyone we run into (all seem to be american) try and tell us that france has never won a war, which is untrue, and they seem to be under the impression that America has never lost a war.....can any american name all the wars you lost? or at least some of the ones you lost, or the ones you lost but said you "tied"?

Vietnam war

Well I'm not good in History so I don't know if we truly lost. Still though, we lost way too many soldiers which wasn't good.

You're right, america had to "back out" of the vietnam war, it was a horrible loss that many claimed to be a tie.

USA only lost the vietnam war, and it was really a battle between the russian-equipped vietcong and the US supported forces. If I remeber my history correct the US groups outnumbered vietcong by a big margin, but still withdrew in the end.

Vietnam war was also the only war where US soldiers were not celebrated as heroes when they came home.

Actually, the war was lost because it was also the "living room war" due to the media being allowed to broadcast in the fray of battle...the vietcong armies where nothing, but the vietnam civilians where also fighting back, children and women would join battle, this led the soldiers to learn that they could not trust the civilians, so many would kill the civilians to protect themselves....which is why they came back to be spit on by their own country....I feel very sympathetic for those soldiers.

But thats not all of the american lost wars, I'm not even counting the american revolution (american lost and won at the same time), need a hint....look at the country I'm from

Vietnam was not a winnable war. We could not fight to our full capacity. Many of the airstrikes that shouldve taken place on cambodian dams, etc didn't happen because we were afraid of China getting involved.

Please explain to me how one can possibly "tie" in war. I don't see how that can be possible... I mean if mission is not accomplished, you lose, and if it is, you win. There is no other ending scenario.
