The Dutch article lists a few more: The Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Six-Day War, the Tet Offensive, the Battle of Longewala and Operation Eagle Claw. Which extends the list until 1980.
One of my favorite relevant books is "Military Misfortunes: The Anatomy of Failure in War." It's by a couple historians/analysts who come up with one of those "table/column" formats for analyzing (mostly operational-level) military disasters, and apply it to several diferent case studies.

If it didn't, the entire war in Iran would qualify.
