They had an opportunity to fight a superpower, aka the soviet union, but we see that when there aren't other countries to do most of the job for them, the americans like to keep quiet.
And even when they take on small, underdevelopped and poor countries, they get their ass kicked. Vietnam is a painful reminder of that.
But hey, leave it to americans to rewrite history so they can feel like they have some sort of military proficiency. After all, after being dead last in the west at about everything that matters (health, education, and so on), their overgrown and underachieving military is the only thing to help them save face. Because "America is number 1"... at making a fool of itself.
