True of Vietnam of course.

And of WW2, the dead being mainly in Eastern Europe and China.

Arguably of WW1 as well, the Germans lost fewer men on the Western Front
than the Belgians, French and British, but they had more deaths from
disease.  On paper they won on the Eastern Front, but the Soviet Union
was produced out of the Russian defeat and I suspect many Germans would,
in the log run, not have thought that that was a good outcome.
