It was a complete failure: Villa was never apprehended and even though two of his generals and some of his men were killed, the major objective of the invasion was never fulfilled. When trying to capture Villa in the small town of Carrizal, Chihuahua, Pershing's cavalry unwittingly confronted Mexican Federal Troops (who were also enemies of Villa), thus starting the Battle of Carrizal. Such confrontation resulted in a phyrric Mexican victory, with 16 American soldiers killed, 1 wounded and 25 captured (and later exchanged). On the Mexican side, there were 24 killed and 43 wounded.
In his own words, Pershing stated:
...when the true history is written, it will not be a very inspiring chapter for school children, or even grownups to contemplate. Having dashed into Mexico with the intention of eating the Mexicans raw, we turned back at the first repulse and are now sneaking home under cover, like a whipped cub with its tail between its legs.
