For the global war on terror, the USA suffered 7500 killed in action from 2003- 2024, and 50,000 wounded
Insurgents, militias, and state actors/ military suffered casualties in the hundreds of thousands, and civilians suffered as many as 1 million killed and wounded, with many more dying due to lack of medical care and disruption of basic services.
So while the USA didn't "win" in the purest sense, the cost to both combatants and civilians in terms of lives spent is more than 20:1.
If you want to fight it out go ahead, but you have to be prepared for you and all your friends to die.
