"We actually win wars, by not going for the official win"

Okay, dopey.

See if you can answer this...

How many wars has the U.S. been engaged in, in the last 80 years, and how many did we win, and how many did we lose, and how many did we go and take possession of? How many of those wars have we had to fight again? How many of those wars ended with no one declared the clear winner? How many of those wars were officially ended with surrender by the losing party? How many of those losers came back for more fighting? How many of the losing parties continue being hostile but 'afraid' to re-engage with the U.S. in a war?

And, don't come back with telling me that it is I that has to answer your question. It is you that has to understand what it means to 'win'. Otherwise, get lost and stop annoying people.

In your example, how did we ‘win’ by losing?
