Had a profound thought earlier. Thought I’d share it with you fine peoples here. And please, don’t take everything I write too seriously. When I condemn or criticize, or god forbid poke fun at, a foreign power, I can get a bit overheated. It’s been a while since I had a good debate, and I tend to inflame the argument and hit “Post” before I realize what exactly I was writing. Anyway, back to the point here.
America in the 20th Century was predominantly one thing and one thing only-the world’s preeminent Anti-Communist force. Sure, history will regard us as having won the Cold War against Communism as we defeated the Soviet Union, albeit economically. But let’s examine the military side of things.
In three armed conflicts against a Communist power, the US has NEVER DEFEATED A COMMUNIST ENEMY. Cuba (Bay of Pigs specifically), Korea, and Vietnam-not a single overall military victory among them. So the question I pose to you fine viewers is, has America been a failure?

Yes. I wish we’d never found the bloody place.
