I'm not a native-born American and don't feel like I have skin in that game. I just feel like in war, there may be victors, but there are no winners. Especially in the modern age, if you get in a war, all sides lose. Victory is just a matter of who manages to lose less.
- xenophonf 5y agoIn war there are no winners, only widows.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoThis is a cliche understanding. Wars can and have been won since warfare started. However, the actual people doing the fighting aren't winning, they're just dying and mostly (unless defending their own country) giving up their most valuable asset (life) so that rich men can play Axis and Allies.
- stolen_biscuit 5y agoI think WW2 had pretty decisive winners and losers
- ant6n 5y agoAlthough some of the victors were also losers (like the Soviet Union). Basically the only decisive winner was the US.
