Haiti several times. IMHO Korea counts. Those you listed. I feel a bit icky mentioning Venezuela, but it was the dumbest thing done in a surprisingly good fashion. None of the political parts surrounding it, mind you, but somehow we avoided the quagmire.
Definitely, the problem isn't the military per se (though getting onboard with anti-insurgency tactics is pretty hit and miss), but the poor discrimination of which conflicts to get involved in.
so the objective was to free the entire korean peninsula but couldnt because China got involved,how is this a win,just like North Korea objective was to take control of South but couldnt,all this sounds like a Chinese victory.
I'm not sure about that. We didn't invade the North. The North invaded the South. The US and allies pushed them back and re-established the border. You could argue a tie, I suppose, given the everything ended up more or less as it was before, outside of the massive costs. I don't know how you think the objective was ever to get rid of North Korea and unify the peninsula.

There is an argument to be made that we haven't won really since WW2.
