The USA military also had the same massive advantage in weapons and aerial superiority in Afghanistan, but twenty years later had to flee with tails between its legs. What the USA had been fighting in Afghanistan were merely against farmers bearing small arms. There was not even a proper unit to be called an army within the ranks of the Taliban. Today, the Taliban have the semblance of an army with weapons seized from the USA when it fled - supposedly destroyed but mostly reconditioned and still a force to be reckoned with in battle. Nothing to gloat about actually for the USA even if it had won the fight.
The USA may have the bragging rights, but not necessarily the clout to come out and proclaim victory even before facing a really formidable foe - one that is on par with it. The French had massive bragging rights regarding their Rafale jet, but what happened recently when the Rafales failed even against cheap Chinese J10C. The Rafales had all the experience, but when it comes to the crunch, it failed.

It is honestly an embarrassment to even talk about the USA military losing its war against the Vietcong and Taliban farmers, with all the touted aerial superiority, weapons and even the use of biological weapons at its disposal.
Gloating about the WW2 victory over Hitler was just hitching a ride on the effort put in by the Soviet Union, suffering 26 casualties, while the allies just moved in at the last moment to take the credit. It was an embarrassment trying to gloat that the allies suffered just a small number of casualties. Of course, when someone else does all the hard work leading to the defeat of Hitler, going in when Hitler was already retreating says nothing about taking credit for a hollow victory. And they celebrated the event as having saved Europe, keeping the Russians away from the celebrations in case they let the cat out of the bag. Nevertheless, this fact had already been clearly exposed by Sergei Lavrov, which the MSM will never come clean by reporting it.
If you watch the video of Trump's military parade held not long ago, it really is another big embarrassment. Those that took part were literally uninterested, just going through the motions and marching like old uncles and aunties representing the residents of an old folk's home, almost lifeless and facing end of days. That must be the most lifeless military parade in history.
Correction: Second paragraph ......hitching a ride on the effort put in by the Soviet Union, suffering 26 million casualties...
