> Vietnam? Algeria? Suez?

Vietnam and Algeria were asynchronous battlefields, and nobody seems to be able to win those. ( Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam)

Suez failed politically and internationally, and the French were forced to pull back because the British got forced by the US. Militarily it had a decent start before that.

And all of those were more than 60 years ago, so hardly applicable today.
