    Why did the US fight against Japan after Pear Harbor? It just meant that more people got killed, both American and Japanese.

    Why did the Soviet Union fight against Nazi Germany? It literally was just killing more people, both Soviet and German.

        Why did the North Vietnamese fight against the United States? Surely they could not have won?

        Why did the Afghani fight against the Soviet Union? There’s no way they could win against a superpower, right?
