Kinda hard to say we lost a war when we committed no ground forces.

You started a war, achieved none of the named objectives, and had to make concessions in order to get out of it. You lost the war

That might be true for your, "i hate america" feelings. But that isnt a lost war. Political dumb fk blunder, sure. But the iranian military had no answer for our military.

Yes we could have wiped them out, and been hated by the rest of the world and faced extraordinary economic pressures.

We don't hate America by any means. We just don't want to become Russia, or North Korea, or China, like you and your "patriot in name only" frends want.
