    US lost in Vietnam and Korea but don’t want to admit it. Let’s just call a spade a spade and admit military powers all suck.

      invade thier front lawn

      Bit of a difference there. We’ll literally had to travel to the jungle.

      Still lost? But a comparable country for us to invade would be Canada or Mexico.

        That’s true and very fair, but also you did try to invade Canada and failed so badly they burned down the white house.

          The “51st state”? I have faith in the true North Americans. If they did it before, they can do it again.

        I dunno, if you look at the track record, Afghanistan is a pretty impressive military power. They defeated the US, Russia, Britain…

          Yeah but same for Vietnam. Both are a nightmare to invade but rarely pick fights
