Failed to achieve even a small measure of their objectives? You probably shouldn't believe the troll because that's just not true.

Korea - There are still no North Korean divisions dug in around Pusan, they've been kicked back to their border where they still reside. That's pretty much the entire war aim of the UN during that conflict.
Iraq - The war was to remove Saddam Hussain from power. That objective was accomplished.
Iran - Not sure how that can be called a defeat seeing as how we haven't even fought a war with them,... yet.

In fact the only one in your list that could really be called a failure is Vietnam and that was more through our lack of will to win rather than a lack of ability to win.
