WWII is a different beast altogether... it was the last war that was actually declared by Congress and ended with unconditional surrender. That's why everything now is labelled post-war
Everything major "war" the US is involved since then was/is messy:
Korean War - ended with armistice, still technically going on
Vietnam War - hasty withdrawal, defeat of S. Vietnam by communist forces
Gulf War - Kuwait freed but Saddam still in power which brings us to Iraq War (Gulf War 2 a decade later)
Somalia - BLACKHAWK DOWN!
Afghan War - 20 years and back to square one
