you're an idiot. the reason why that idiom works if you say "lost the battle, but won the war" is because a "battle" is smaller than a "war" and is only a part of it. conor posting that dumb quote in reverse is him admitting he may have won the smaller "battle" but already lost the overall "war".
it's a dumb post but hey, at least it works for dumb people too.
But he didn't post that. 3 Pages in and you still got the quote wrong:
We lost the match but won the battle.
The war goes on.
