    I don’t think that’s the roast it was meant to be…

    The meme is implying:

    The U.S. is so accustomed to being either victorious or at least never conquered that many Americans have never had to think about what a traditional military defeat looks like.

    The hidden premise is:

    Americans are shocked because they’re not used to being on the receiving end of victory conditions.

      Eh, all it really implies is that the US has no idea how wars work, regardless of whether they result in a win or loss. Assuming we know anything at all is giving us too much credit.

      Eh, depends on how you think about it. I’m roasting (the relevant subset of) Americans because they’re acting like spoiled children.
