Vietnam would seem a more appropriate example, but regardless, history (as least your warped reading of it) hasn't seemed to prevent either tactical mistakes (like IRAQ!) or prevented the US from getting into wars in the first place. So, sorry your guys version of history is not inspiring much confidence.
