The US military hasn't won a war in about 20 years.

That's too broad a brush. I'm against militarism, but what engagement against conventional forces has the US military lost in the last 20 years?

I can't speak to dealing with insurgencies but it's clear to me that a mix of various administrations policies was to blame more than military effectiveness.

I mean was it the military or Paul Bremmer and co who disbanded the Iraqi military and unleashed a lot of chaos?
