If you want to count brief conflicts (which were actually "military campaigns")technically, the armed forces of Iraq were engaged in combat with the US (and coalition) at least twice; Desert Storm (Jan/Feb 1991) & Iraqi Freedom (2003). A military campaign is a military operation in which a particular "objective" is the mission. DS was the ejection of Iraq from Kuwait (accomplished) & Iragi Freedom was the removal of Saddam Hussain from power (accomplished)...those meet the criteria of a military campaign. Short and quick...must often measured in weeks or months.

After Hussian's removal from power, Iraqi Freedom degenerated into a police action (the restoring of law, order and stability to the region).

The Vietnam War was the last traditional long, bloody, costly war fought against ANOTHER NATION'S ARMED FORCES/GOVERNMENT by the US.
