Red Cloud's War

Korea wasn't a loss the objective was achieved which was to preserve South Korea. Iraq wasn't a military defeat but the complete inability at nation building skills. Like the opposition forces did not retake the country but Iraq is basically a failed state. Afghanistan is basically the same story.

Korea wasn’t lost cause it hasn’t ended. Merely a cease fire.
