British Army: We are not afraid of American troops;
North Korean Army: We are not afraid of the US military;
Vietnamese Army: We are not afraid of the US military;
In the eyes of many people, the United States is invincible and accustomed to bullying the small. With its powerful navy, land, and air force, especially the US Navy, which is dominated by aircraft carrier formations, it can be said that it is difficult to meet opponents in various parts of the world.
However, the United States, the global hegemon, has also suffered many defeats, but none of the defeats it has suffered have occurred on its own soil, so the defeat of the United States cannot be regarded as a defeat, but can only be said to be a "retreat".
Not to mention the distance, the US military has suffered many defeats in modern wars. The Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Lebanese War, the Iraq War, and the Afghanistan War, the U.S. military arrogantly thought that it could show its skills, but when they entered, they found that they were all mired in the quagmire, and it was often the U.S. military that hastily withdrew its troops.
The U.S. military is advanced, the U.S. military is good at blitzkrieg, and the U.S. military has enough experience in warfare. The US military is not exhausted, the US military is arrogant, and the US army is afraid of death, these are the reasons why the US military lost the war.
