      Yes. And we helped bankrupt the British Empire in the bargain. But why is the president talking about it at the SOTU? https://t.co/RdPj8CKcK8

      It was the last time America won a clear-cut military victory.

          Well, a big one. But reaching for it just highlights how there is nothing from the last three quarters of a century the country agrees on.

          Yeah, I don't think Grenada or even Panama counts. Everything since WWII has been ambiguous or murky. As you say, not much that the country can agree on.

          "Clear cut" is a malleable term. America's victory in WWII lead to the Cold War because America allied with Communist Soviet Union in their war against the Nazis. IMHO, the only clear cut American military victory was the American Revolution.

          Well, a clear-cut victory with any moral authority, anyway. Reagan beat Grenada pretty decisively, but such bullying is hardly praiseworthy. It was neither ethical nor impressive. Instead, it was therapy for what hawkish pundits dubbed our "Vietnam Syndrome." But we clearly won.

          You're forgetting Herr Reagan's clear-cut military victory over Grenada.

          The us won in the Pacific. The red army did the dirty work in Europe and deserves a ton of credit. That being said, they never would have reached Germany without us aid. It was a legitimate team effort.
