War of 1812.
It ended in a tie.
It spawned the US national anthem, which consists of several non-grammatical question fragments set to an English drinking song.
It inspired the immortal 1959 Jimmy Driftwood lyrics to "The Battle of New Orleans".

Neat secret experimental weapons

Battle of the Network Stars

Vietnam, which was the military exercise, of course. But it gave us Volunteers, and my favourite scene from a movie, ever, the insane, brillianty acted Kilgore Scene in Apocalypse Now.

But I choo-choo-choose the War On Drugs
