War is not a game.
Politicians act like their goal is to win, no matter the cost, and anyone who disagrees is an enemy.
They pass the proof of this to their military, and these are the people who die to prove the political leaders' truthfulness.
Football coaches who originated the comment, "Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing," were referring not to players but to fans.
(The term used here -- "fans" -- is a short version of the word "fanatic," and it refers not to players but to followers.)
At root of all the talk of winning -- whether sports, politics or military -- is a desire for control, and some leaders are more concerned with winning than with anything else.
