    Well, a "first" war implies at least a "second" one. And the Villistas sustained significantly more casualties, Villa proved that the only thing he was good at was running away.

    Not to mention he beat a well equipped, well trained, and American army, but yeah he totally ran away... Let's totally forget about his victory.

    His victory? You could only call it a victory since Villa evaded capture, but the American forces outgunned them at every battle. And how convenient is it that Pershing's forces were recalled just in time for them to be sent to France, which was considered much more important by our leaders.

    A brief wikipedia search leads me to conclude that Villa never really won a single engagement.
