Sorry to let you down joe, but not one country has won every war they have participated in.Britain (England my country) has had wars for over 2000 years. We have lost some we have won some. Empires come and go, not one empire has stood time and never will.
As an american you might not understand 200 years let alone 2000 or more as you country has very little history (native indian excluded of course), and what little you have is not entirely truthful as it puts you in a bvad light, hence, americans will not accept what others say as the truth.
AMERICAN LOST IN VIETNAM, THE NORTH VIETNAMESE WON.
or if you wish to put it.
AMERICAN RAN AWAY BEFORE IT LOST.
SORRY TO BE SO BLUNT BUT THAT IS THE TRUTH.
