"In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers,"- Neville Chamberlain.
This is a really interesting look at this type of mindset. I have often wondered what it is to "win" a war, and the quote that came to mind was the one I posted above. Measurement is certainly not understanding in all situations.
- hackeraccount 5y agoI think Clausewitz'saying "War is a mere continuation of politics by other means" was pretty close to the mark. Does anyone ever "win" politics? You have upsides and down and some things get pretty well settled but genuine victories are vanishingly rare whereas bitter tasting compromises seem to come about even when one side seems to hold all the cards.
