    So how many times did the US invade another country and won within a three days “special operation” time?

      Winning has never been the problem, keeping the peace has been.

      But running in and clearing out opposing forces on the field? We’re amazing at that.

      The only forces Russians are good at beating are civilians when they’re driving tanks.

          We utterly destroyed them, but then they just ran and hid for decades in the mountains, and short of blowing up the mountains there’s not a lot you can do.

          Course, they killed 20x as many Russians, so at least our score isn’t as bad. And the Russians were trying to wipe them out.
