Our current population has emotional breakdowns when told they have to wear a mask to keep old people from dying. I am not at all confident that we will ever reach the same level of energy that led to organized, cohesive revolution and war unless some outside power starts taking away people’s internet and pizza rolls.

Canada. There are other wars the U.S. has lost, but I don’t know how involved the U.S. Army was in them.
