Also, the guy fought against the Ruskies who had an actual military replete with overwhelming numerical and logistical superiority. Fighting against untrained Asians in pajamas while you enjoy complete air superiority is a bit different.

Americans fight war on Easy Mode and brag when they get a decent score. Real nations who have gone through the gauntlet know what war is really about.

He got it during a rescue mission of an ambushed MACV-SOG team. He wasnt even on the mission rotation and went in to help extract them. He almost died in the process. He didnt get the award until Raegan got in office. The file on him and the action was sealed and it took a lot of witness to petition for his award. His name is Roy Benividez if you want to look him up.

Oh look it's that time again when some dumbass promotes Americas minor military accomplishments and how they fought against powers that were far weaker than they are. All of those conflicts that you just listed proves how mediocre America is when it comes to war.

>the nation emerged as the number one superpower of the world.

Any country with a nuclear arsenal can do that so that's nothing to brag about and despite having this ability, America can't and won't because the actions of the American military is restricted by its own society and culture. Americans have no stomach for war, a nation of merchants rarely does, and lack the conviction for prolonged bloody conflicts.
