    But you just described Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. Didn’t even get to keep 50 square kilometers of barren wasteland.

      Not really, no. US went there, destroyed a bunch of shit, played around for couple of decades, and went home. They didn’t lose much (occasional humans don’t count, who counts a bunch of kids with guns), that was basically a play so the ghouls can watch some people die, par for the course. US didn’t lose anything substantial ever and never was in a war that was important for them ever since that one with Mexico.
