French-indian War - Preseason Game - Victory

American Revolution a win

The War of 1812 Hmmm, technically a loss but like like the football underdog, a moral victory.

Texas war for Independence from Mexico Victory

Spanish American War Victory

WWI Victory

WWII Victory

Korean Conflict -The Korean conflict has not yet been resolved. I guess we are in overtime. Its not a win or a loss yet.

Vietnam - Loss due to poor game plan. (Blame the coach)

Grenada and Panama - Victory

Bosnia - We are still there. I don't know if the results are in yet.

Somalia - One of the worst defeats.

Desert Storm - a Victory (Albiet a shallow one). We did accomplish our mission according to the UN resolutions. I just wish he had gotten him out of power then.

The Civil War (or war of northern aggression as it is known down here) was an inter squad game and should not reflect on the regular season standings.

I count 8-3-0 with two to be decided (Bosnia and Korea) and the inter squad and preseason games.

The Civil War should be considered a win. The Confederates broke away from The Union, so technically the Union was the one that this applies to. If the Confederates had won, well, history would probably have been vastly different.

As far as Korea goes, I'm not sure where to put it. The Korean War is still going on and the U.S. still has troops in South Korea, so......

The War of 1812 is technically a loss since the objective of the U.S. was to take parts of Canada, and England's objective was not to lose it. History shows that the English were successful in their objective where as the U.S. was not. Thus, by definition, we must count this as a loss (though it was a victory to the American's morale because they had fought one of the great military powers of the world and managed to survive).

I would say that the Quasi-War was a victory, the First and Second Barbary Wars would also go down as victories, The Northwest Indian War (1785–1795) was decisively a victory, Bosnia and Kosovo are up in the air.
