Let's be clear about Afghanistan: If after 20 years, and 832,000 American troops serving there...

40. From your source.... hardly a victory.. a political/diplomatic disaster, actually.

1500 Grenadian "troops" equipped with small arms, 64 Cuban troops equipped with small arms....

vs...

"The invading force consisted of the US Army's 1st and 2nd battalions of the 75th Ranger Regiment, the 82nd Airborne and the Army's rapid deployment force, Marines, Army Delta Force, Navy SEALs, and ancillary forces totaling 7,600 troops, together with Jamaican forces and troops of the Regional Security System (RSS).

The United Nations General Assembly condemned it as "a flagrant violation of international law" on 2 November 1983 with a vote of 108 to 9."

Nothing against the troops who were there... and the 18 Americans killed... but there were more medals given out than troops in the fight. Cuban forces sustained 25 killed. Grenadian forces suffered 45 dead. At least 24 civilians were also killed, 18 of whom died in the accidental bombing of a Grenadian mental hospital.

Not a victory.... a shameful clusterfuck. Like the rest of them.
