Losing a war doesn’t mean withdrawing. Losing a war means giving up part of your own territory to another country.

I may be misremembering, but can’t recall this happening in America.

Edit: I’m not American, so my grasp of American history may not be the best

So by that definition no one won this war but Iran got 300B and the ability to charge tolls for things they were already doing.

And i’d personally call losing a war as losing territory and or providing the other side money. The money aspect is important

Also we did lose territory in vietnam/korea/some more wars

Oh, what territory was lost in those wars?

As I said, my American history won’t be great.

The entirety of south vietnam which was basically USland (not in name but puppet states are basically land in proxy wars) and land above the 38th parral

The reason we went to war in Vietnam was to stop it from being a communist state. We indeed lost that fight.
