the USA had a between an 8:6.1 18.9:1 in Vietnam.
8.6:1 to 65.9:1 in Iraq and a 22.1:1 to ~33.4:1 in Afghanistan.
The USA has only ever "lost" wars because the public or state lost the motivation to continue the war, no real win state is set before going in. The USA "loses" these wars because they stop trying to achieve their objectives, not because they couldn't beat their armed opposition.
Anyone who thinks being on the losing side of a 20-60 to 1 K:D ratio is winning is retarded.
The US only suffered 4.5k losses in Iraq and 2.4k in afghanistan. Iraq went on for 10 years and Afghanistan for 20 years.
