@WandererUber @BobsonDugnuttHB @Bunsen @Terry @Hoss Somalia was a operation. Hardly a war AFAIK. The US has a long history of defeats. The best example was Vietnam. It took a long while for the US to get back into war after Vietnam and they did it as a non-draft military with only volunteers. Desert Storm was what really turbo boosted the thirst for war but before Desert Storm the US didn't get majorly involved for a while.
