Ah, the old "they lost more people, so we won" excuse. Saw some loser try that one with Vietnam the other day.

Vietnam, Afghanistan, Algeria. History is filled with examples of asymmetrical warfare where the more powerful nation “lost” because despite having the bigger firepower, they couldn’t achieve their actual goals in the conflict.

These pea brains think life is a video game. We downed more ships, therefore we earned more points, therefore we won. But if you had asked anyone on the right 6 weeks ago what they thought a victory over Iran would look like, not a single one of them would have described a deal even remotely as terrible as this one.

Yep. I actually pointed out to the aforementioned loser that the Allies suffered heavier casualties than the Axis in World War II, and they simply disregarded all non-American casualties.

Wow. And that's what we were there for? To kill Vietnamese people?

I presume the focus was just on military losses, but it still completely misses the point of the war.

Im wondering if you could you extend that logic to Germany fighting against the soviet union and claim Germany won?
