Be more specific. Who are you referring to specifically?

Name one country post world war 2 that the US got into an armed conflict with that wasnt third or second world with a vastly inferior military vs the US

Pre 1990 the Iraqi military was considered a very forminable military armed with capable soviet designed systems, extensive air defense radar network with capable SAM armanments, an extensive army of over than 1 million men most of which were battle hardened from years of conflict with Iran, and a scrupulous leader that was willing to sacrafice hundreds of thousands of solidiers to get his objectives...
It was only after all the dust settled in the first few days that it became clear that the Allied strategy and tatics had hit the lenchpins of the Iraqi defense to put the entire system into dissarry, ... it was also only then that just how superior the USAF tatics/technology were first came to light. No other time before that had air power been *that* decisive determining the war outcome with the first few air campaigns.
