They myths about a war are written by the losing side.

Most of the time they are written by the winning side, and then taught as history, you know, like in the United States where most people think the war was fought over slavery.

Of course you don't think this, because you've said so many times.

So then history is written by the losers? You're making a lie of the popular Lost Causer myth. But then myths are your stock in trade.
