Was Grenada a war? Was that the one that Eastwood won for us?

Sure was - Heartbreak Ridge was a great documentary about how Clint took a ragtag outfit of Marines, and led them to victory over the combined Cuban and Grenadan armies.

We kicked ass in Korea. Desert Storm 1 was decisive but just given up on too early.

but we did drive the North Koreans (and Chinese) BACK to that 38th parallel after they had captured 90% of the country.
Still - a 50 year truce, fortified border, and the continued presence of 10's of 1000's of American troops over there doesn't feel like victory.
Call it a draw?
