Well, US can defeat any country now if they wanted, but they lost the war in Vietnam because they didn't control the media. They've learned a valuable lesson back then and now they're the masters in manipulating the media for their own war propaganda.

 

That's rather extreme.

And I'm pretty sure China, with it's overwhelming manpower and strong military, could kick our asses as we stand now. Moreso because they simply have more people than we do. It'll be a bloody conflict that'll destroy both sides to be sure but that in itself destroys the patriotist argument that America is unstoppable in military.
