When the USA stays dedicated (American revolution, WWI, WWII, Korea) there are positive results. When the people don't care or don't go the distance (Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq I, Somolia) there are negative results.

Your classification is incorrect: the US pulled out early in WW1 and Korea.
You left out War of 1812, Spanish American War, Philippine Insurrection, the Bay of Pigs, and Beirut (among others).
The U.S. starts too many wars to see them all through to the finish.

I don't know enough about the other conflicts or wars to comment on them. The US didn't pull out of WWI early, it joined it late. The Bay of Pigs is another prime examle of the US not staying committed and messing things up.
