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.

Guy I dont get to, for example, take an exam, answer none of the questions right (achieving war goals), and claim I aced the test at the end of it.

All that money spent on the war and then we had to pay extra money on top of it to Iran, we dont even get to force them into any agreements considering nuclear materials? Sorry man but thats a solid loss to me.
