1. The US can accept the title of victor during the Revolutionary War of 1776; however, like Vietnam, the British grew tired of fighting the American Colonists (8 years worth) and decided we were no longer worth the trouble and called it quits. 2. The War of 1812; Britain agreed to quit kidnapping US Seamen on the high seas. 3. The Mexican War (1846-1848); the US acquired California, Arizonia, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico. 4. Frontier Wars (1850-1890); the US Army settles the western US. 5. Spanish-American War of 1898; US acquires leasing rights in Cuba, and takes Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. 6. In 20th Century language; the US puts down the Philippine Insurrection in 1902. Which was bloodier than the Spanish-American War of 1898 which had spawned it. Today's 21st Century language calls it the "Philippine-American War." 7. US is responsible for the allied victory in WW1. 8. US is responsible for the allied victory in WW2. 9. US/Allies STOP the communists at the 38th Parallel during the Korean War; which is still in effect today. 10. Vietnam War; US pulls out of Vietnam in 1973; South falls to the Communist Northern invaders in April 1975. First communist victory during the cold war. 11. US successfully conducts military operations: Urgent Fury (Grenada 1983); Just Cause (Panama 1989); Desert Storm (Iraq-January & February 1991); Restore Hope (Somalia 1993); Bosnia Operations in the 1990's; Operations Iraqi Freedom (starting in 2003 to present) and Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan 2001 to present).

The US has won every war against every "nation" it ever fought (minus the Vietnam War). It also was a stalemate against North Korea in the Korean War.

Did US military ever lose any war in history?

The Vietnam War is considered a loss, because the communists did conquer the country that the US fought to preserve from the communists. There are many others, but the only wars in US history that were declared are The American Revolution, The War of 1812, World War One, and World War Two. But if you count unofficial wars, then there are many where we did not fulfill our goal, Vietnam being the biggest one.

Was World War 2 good for the us?

I think that to answer this question you have to know what happend in the world war. Yes, that's a fair point. The history books are written: They graphically show what happened. I'm thinking there can be very few, if any, good wars. WW2 was by far the worst in history.
