There have been cases where the attacker so wasted his resources that the 
defender was able to simply walk out and sweep up the winnings. Maybe the 
defender never won a war, but history is full of attackers that lost wars.

Not hardly. If Clinton wins, we just have to work a lot harder. Hell, WW2 
*started* at Pearl Harbor, and we got our butts kicked there. If Clinton 
makes too much of gun control, he just might wake "the giant and fill him 
with terrible resolve". (from remarks attributed to Japanese Admiral 
Yamamoto just after Pearl Harbor attack)
