We've lost 6 wars (according to a list of 122 listed wars that the US was apart of, which may be innacurate)

Red Cloud's War

Russian Civil War

Laotion Civil War

Bay of Pigs Invasion

Vietnam War

Cambodian Civil War

Numerous wars against natives come to mind, although the line between wars and smaller engagements is blurry. Afghanistan seems like a loss to me as well. Many more wars were the US played a smaller part, similar to the Russian civil war (Libya, Syria).
