2. We haven't won a major war since 1945. Korea was a draw, Vietnam a loss, all the others too small and brief to count.
A quibble. America was on the winning side in WWII, but I would argue that the it was the USSR that defeated Germany. The other Allies played a positive role. The U.S.'s major achievement was that it could provide supplies because its factories could not be threatened by German forces. The U.S. military was not the major winning factor in WWII; the Soviet military was.
