The Korean War included the greatest retreat in US history, which was only stopped because we were fighting an enemy with barely any industrial capacity to resupply troops, or even supply them with enough radios, and we failed to achieve the objective of a unified Korea (letalone the bloodthirsty moron MacArthur's objective of invading China and becoming the "ceasar of the east").
We bombed a bunch of civilians, showed the world that our B2 stealth bomber could be shot down by 30 year old, man-portable AA. I'm still unsure what strategic use bombing embassies and apartments was.
America didn't didn't directly fight any of those.
We lost that one, our objective was to take Spanish America, and we failed that. They also burned the whitehouse.
Those the US did manage to achieve some of it's objectives, but WWII was 80 years ago.
Those were primarily against other Americans.
