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?

Plenty have died fighting stupid wars that the USA should never have started or jumped in on. But not one of those has been to protect anything but wealth or individual political careers.
