I am not sure in what attitude to take it, if I may say so. I will say that I would put my asbestos underwear on if I were you--insulting the US on a nationalist US website is not going to make you many friends.

Also, a quibble about your "American timeline": The list for the French only included major wars (except Indochina), whereas your American list included multiple conflicts never declared as "wars" (for example, Vietnam, Somalia, Kosovo, etc.).

Thanks for your concern! This is a nationalist website? I thought it was just conservative.
It's just a bit of fun really, and I'm sure that the people on this site will be able to laugh at themselves like we British do. After all, it's no more to be taken seriously than the French list. I'm thinking about a similar British listing, but there are too few defeats to work on! :-)
You're right of course about minor conflicts, I could have left them out, but I do think the Vietnam conflict was a major war, albeit undeclared.
