Greece.

Continuation of WWII and helped mostly by the Brits IIRC. But it did give Truman an excuse to increase the military budget

Korea.

Stalemate

Vietnam.

Loss.

Angola.

Again, draw. Peace treaty signed. However, the MPLA (Communist) party is still in control.

Nicaragua (Contras).

Granted a win but moreso removal of a dictator.

Grenada.

Come now, three day excursion to the Caribbean?

Afghanistan.

Oh yes, perhaps you could remind me. What rebel grou was the CIA involved with during all that? What was that about wars 'ending' things?

Oh, did you make the error in thinking that I was stating that all of these were wins? Your mistake, then. I was listing them as engagements, otherwise known as wars. The duration, success, or finality of any engagment on this list does not change the fact that it was a war.

Don't try to shift the focus, which was how we defeated Communism. We both realize that you've lost this point and changing the topic won't change that.
