Pretty sure you had more planes than Vietnam too, yet you still managed to lose that one.
If the United States had to be summed up in one word that would would be "overconfident".
The level of arrogance that the US government has about its military simply based on its size is profound. Military size would be a highly relevant factor if your enemy was expected to engage on your terms. However for some reason this tends not to be the case and you end up spending the entire war defending your flank.
Look at Iraq, the US government sent thousands and thousands of troops in only for them to huddle in fortifications afraid to go out because of homemade explosives. Why didn't the massively superior US military simply shoot the enemy combatants. Oh yeah that's right because they couldn't find them because the insurgents decided not to engage the US in direct combat. End result, essentially complete defeat.
