TIL that we won the Korean War and also a Grenada War :)

learning something new every day…

Well, goes back to your definitions of “won” and “war”. Both are fairly blurry.

We definitely accomplished our objective in Grenada, which we invaded. I’d call it winning a war. There were boots on the ground who did what we sent them to do.

Korea was definitely a war and the ostensible purpose was to repel North Korea, which we and our allies did. If that’s not winning a war, what is it?
