No, it proves that the US military is smarter than to take on anyone else of the same training and techology levels. If you think the US is the best in history I suggest looking at history more.
The Huns, the Mongols, the Armies of Alexander the Great, Napoleon.
Hell the 1940 German army mainly lost to the Allies because the Allies out produced them (for ever Liberty ship they were sinking the US was producing 2 more).
Consider the Mongols were using Psy Ops centuries before the term was coined (marching the captives of the last city in front of the army to make the size of the attacking force look larger).
Does the US have a incredibly impressive fighting force? Hell yeah... they also outspend the rest of the world combined when it comes to defense. They better damn well have something to show for it.
