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.

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.


Finally someone with some insight on why the vietnam war went on for 19 some odd years.

Actually I am not too sure as to which "brush fire war" this may apply too although Im inclined to say it was vietnam, Well anyhow the war was never really official.

America tied the Korean war. America wanted one capitalist Korea, China wanted one communist Korea. In the end they settled on 2 Koreas. Hence a tie.

you guys also tried to invade Canada....so we burned down ur white house....but it wasn't the white house back then, it was like brown or green or something, but because white was the cheapest colour to paint it, white paint was used....but don't worry, you have the moral victory of having made the UK your bitch and screwing us out of property (selling of Alaska)

what does that mean? A war does not have to be declared to be official, it is what it is.

True, but the world has some strange notion that war should have some civility involved thus you must declare war before it becomes official.

uh, I believe you're thinking of the war of 1812. One could say the U.S. lost that war since they did not meet their objective and lost more battles than they won, but no side gained or lost territory.

And btw, no canadian troops were in the attack where the white house got burned down.

Anyway who cares about this or that country having lost X number of wars. America is less than 300 years old (1776 independance), France is 1600 + years old (approximately the birth of the first dynasties of "french" kings, 500 AD king "Clovis") so we have fought many more wars and of course have lost many. Ppl of my age (21) are the first french generation not have seen and lived a war... . Ive once met an american that came on europe server just to flame ppl about the Iraq war and saying shit like "france is gay, never won a war since Napoleon" . JUST WHO GIVES A F*CK ABOUT HOW MANY WARS YOUR COUNTRY HAS LOST (apart from ppl interested in history). THis is probably the worst moronic and lame flame i've ever heard on all bnet....
damn i fucked up this one...gg.....re?? ^^

hey suLTan could you please check your facts before you make me look bad? USA bought Alaska from Russia. And before you go taking credit for Canadians beating Americans in a war, lets not forget that 'Canada' did not become Canada until a good 50 years AFTER that little skirmish. Great Britain beat USA in the War of 1812, not Canada.

hey travis newsflash, the Americans started that war as a war of aggression, part of their manifest destiny. No, Britain did not reconquer the US, but they definately did not get conquered either. Since they didn't start the fight, you can score that one for the Brits. They're only prerogative was to not get conquered. They weren't conquered. They won.

I think you could refer to a draw as a tie, because both parts lose

I think what he's getting at is that in the minds of today's americans there is no memory or imagination of the consequences of a war (excluding soldiers and maybe sept 11th though thats different). hence, you could argue, the public opinion is often more in favour of a war when compared to other countries.

if u or your parents etc have memories of their homes being bombed, their relatives dying AT HOME, their brothers being sent somewhere they have never heard of just to not return ever again, your view on war in general will be different than, for instance, your only experience of war is playing BF1942 sitting on your couch munching popcorn or watching a movie in ur comfy living room...
