Winning is difficult. I think the US and it's military forces are much more adept at dismantling a threat, in this comparison, a country.
I think some time ago they realized that they don't need to storm the capitol with troops to obtain an objective. This of course is much easier with a modern country. Places like Iraq and Iran can take a pounding and keep on ticking. They are used to living in the dark ages.
However, take the same destruction to China, France, Germany, etc.... A few strategic targets make for a game changer. Although should this play out, it better play out with a nation without ICBM Nukes. Cause the type of destruction the US military can cause to a 1st world country could be perceived as an attempt at annihilation. Which in turn could bring on a maximum defensive launch reaction.
