    I recently saw that the US military has a civilian-kill:soldier-death ratio of like 60:1 since Korea. Who has that high of a K:D ratio and still be at 0% wins?

      Gotta ask what “winning” is, exactly.

      Presidents tend to win reelection during war time. And there’s a ton of money to be made. Meanwhile, the market loves a war and rewards shareholders handsomely.

      So who is actually losing?
