I'm going with a non-zero sum definition of win. So, you don't "win" by making the other country suffer more death and destruction from the war than you do. By that definition, the US "won" against N. Vietnam. By any other definition though, it lost. You only win if your country is better off after the war than before it, either economically, in terms of prestige, or in terms of security.
The US has been dumping trillions into wars in Asia since 1950 and has nothing to show for it afaict.
