withdrawals from Saigon and Mogadishu for instance.

P.S. Grenada anyone - ANYONE?

P.P.S Oh and Op "Just Cause" comes to mind too.
?Que?

Saigon, you're right. We lost.

Mogadishu? We did get our ass handed to us, but I don't recall setting up a democratic government as the mission. Thought we tried to protect the folks trying to hand out food.

Grenada? Lost me there. Are you saying we lost? Umm, we got our civilians and I believe restored the elected governor, but I'll wait to be corrected on the outcome. But a loss?

"Just Cause?" Or as we termed it, "Just Because," how'd we loss that one? Noriega is sitting in prison, Panama has their own elected government. How do you score this one as a loss?
