The US could never win from Denmark. Every tank or plane they destroy, Denmark just rebuilds as they are made from Lego.

Honestly, I have 15 years of naval experience, the Danish are one of the best trained and most modern navies I've ever seen or worked with (together with Germany and Norway) while the Americans nearly shot down their own helicopter by mistake, MULTIPLE TIMES, if it wasn't for an allied unit to intervene at the last moment like:

"This is US warship, hostile contact incoming, final warning read, opening fire."

"This is NL warship, hold your fire! wtf guys, did we miss an exercise or something? Are you aware you're about to open fire on your own helo right now?"

"This is US warship, hostile contact now friendly, out."

I've never seen a more incompetent navy out there, and I've worked with Italian, French and Peruvian navies too so that says a lot.

They may look impressive, with all their tech and carriers, but remember: They fought a 20 year war in Afghanistan against illiterate nomads with 60 year old kalashnikovs who live in caves, and they lost.

Hey now. The US also lost a war against jungle villagers, and then later started losing wars against inanimate objects like drugs.

At least it's not as bad as Australia. They lost wars against emu's, beatles, toads, rabbits and mice. Source This is so funny xD

I can't think of a war where the US decidedly won it since the civil war, which is purely on the technicality that the confederacy was not the US. It does feel like WW2 was carried by the russians and as of today we've lost the war of hearts and minds over it

Everyone loses to Vietnam and Afghanistan though. They're both famously good at home turf guerilla warfare
