We’re good at war. From a military standpoint, we’ve really only lost 1812. Korea was a stalemate, but China and NK had way more casualties. Vietnam wasn’t lost through combat but through domestic politics. Gulf War was a steamroll to victory. We took control of Afghanistan in like 2 days or something insane like that. Both Iraq Wars were overwhelming too

In WWI, Trench Guns made Germany cry foul (you know, the ppl blowing mustard gas at us). In WWII, we beat the Germans out of Africa, mainly because of the Big Red One. We took the most fortified beaches on D-Day. Pittsburgh alone made more steel than all of the Axis powers combined. Our marines single-handedly destroyed the Japanese. The only U-Boat left in existence is in Chicago because we stole it from Germany and kept it from sinking.

Engineering feats are another thing, look into which nations have nuclear-powered carriers, the F-15, the F-22 and its testing, the B-2, and the B-52 clawing its way to the modern era

I’m not a fan of the MIC but I love history and engineering! Also countries like China and Russia are kinda full of shit. They’re always claiming they have hypersonic missiles but if we use their definition, hypersonics have existed since the Nazi’s V-2 rocket. Russia also can’t even beat Ukraine with out old and outdated equipment lmao
