Victor is written as if it's the opposite of Victim.

it seems like a poor choice of wording, but this makes me remember that we thought we won a war every time we won a war where we were the victors.

but we created victims so how so we win. how is that winning?

War is a racket..
Tales of valor and far fetched fantasies serve only to pacify us against the grim realities that were created for both sides. There are no victors in war. Only individuals who profit off of the chaos created to serve corporate and private interests who act only to serve said interests. Accept this one individual who finally said...enough.
