cloudballoonsays...Just curious (as an uninformed Canadian), what war the US Army (not the Navy, not the USAF, the Army) can really claimed it won in a century? Just leave after wrecking a country into ruins is not winning by definition (Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc.), looking for a clear "Mission Accomplished"?
Like, I'd call the USAF dropping of the H Bomb won WWII, it got Japan to surrender, treaty signed, etc. That's Mission Accomplished to me.
BSRsays...Hang in there. newt will be right with you. He's in the library right now.
newtboysays...Perhaps you recall that Japan wasn’t the only enemy in WW2.
I think most would say the US army was the deciding factor in winning most major battles and the war in Europe.
True, they didn’t do it alone, but they did the lions share of successful fighting from my understanding. Of course, my history teachers were biased.
Also, Kuwait….again, with help from other branches.
There are other, less clear cut examples but that should answer the question I hope.

siftbotsays...Moving this video to BSR's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
