Correction. Haven't won a hot war in 75 years (we did win against the Soviets though in a very different type of war).
When Truman and George Marshall backstabbed MacArthur during the North Korea campaign in late 1950 that was the first and only time our military was forcibly driven back by hostile forces permanently. Almost 450K U.S. troops driven back by the Chicoms who had no heavy artillery...no aircraft bombers...no tanks...no jeeps. Just small arms weapons and a fantastic psy-ops campaign by tricking our military in North Korea into believing a relatively small 200K strong Chinese army who had to walk on foot everywhere was 1 or 2 million strong.
