1948: Harry S. Truman orders desegregation of the US military (executive order 9981).
1953: Korean War, status quo ante bellum.
1975: Vietnam War, US withdrawal and decisive loss, South Vietnam is conquered.

Didn't we win the '91 gulf war in like 3 days? You can't even compare WWII to Vietnam anyway. They're not even the same style of war.

Nothing about either World War was decisive, you're an idiot if you think that, read a book faggot.

'91 Iraq war was a Coalition victory, status quo? LAWL is all I have to say.

If I'm not mistaken, South Korea still exists as a democracy, so Korea could be considered a US victory as well.

Vietnam wasn't even a full blown war, it was a fucking proxy war between the US and Russia, again, book.

If you're going to be racist, at least do it properly retard.

In World War II blacks and whites mixed often which is the reason many historians claim caused the Civil Rights movement. Once blacks saw that they could be equal and fight along side whites in WWII they applied it to everyday life and got pissed off and forced change.


The reason we haven't had decisive victories is b.c. of shitty aggressive foreign policy based off of greed, not having black people in the military.

By starting this thread you have established yourself as an ignorant moron and certainly less intelligent than the majority of the population.

I picked up a rock the day after 9/11, and we haven't had a terrorist attack since then.

That rock is the only thing keeping Osama at bay!

You may argue you lost the battles of Korea and Vietnam, but you won the overall war.

Oh, really? Germany surrendered unconditionally after World War II and Japan got a new constitution written by the US government. Both countries are still filled with US military bases! As for World War I, the Weimar Republic was established by the US in the place of the destroyed Prussian empire.

Again, not true. Iraq's borders and regime remained the same, hence status quo ante bellum; not that you can read Latin.

Again merely repelling an attack is not a victory, taking over North Korea and establishing a single Korean state would have been a victory. Withdrawing and agreeing to a cease fire is a tie at best.

This point isn't even worth arguing, you're clearly a liar or an idiot.

So, why was South Vietnam taken over by the North? Why was the United States forced to withdraw? What about North Korea? How is agreeing to a cease fire winning the war?
