Then you have the bystander nations, who generally lose (rare exception - when a bystander moves in and rapes one of the main losers AND gains significant materiel and/ or technology in the process. Whether this is a net win or a further loss would require the attention of a swarm of moral accountants). Your trade and business systems are damaged for years or decades to come, which most people who aren't involved in war profiteering consider to be a loss. There are also significant numbers of individual people who lose their limbs, their health (I remember a gamekeeper, "Sparrow" by nickname because he spoke so quietly. He taught me a lot about nature and woodland care. Chlorine.), their lives, or their loved ones. There are some politicians who benefit from wars. This is generally considered a loss. -- Aidan Karley, Geologist, "You are in a maze of twisty little presentation styles, all [different | alike]."
