So the British subjects of the Falklands did not benefit from life as free men rather than captives of the Argentines?
The British military did not benefit from pride at a successful response to the call of duty?
British subjects world wide did not benefit from a feeling of support from their nation no matter where they were residing or doing business?
Every British subject did not benefit from being able to hold their heads high and say "We still protect our own!"?
Every country benefits from war, the point is that either your country benefits from war or the enemy benefits from war.
It used to be called winning or losing and the result was loss of land, transport into slavery, debilitating restitution, mass castration, watching you wife and children sold on the auction block and other "negative benefits".
Now it is simple loss of status. That makes it much easier to refuse to support your own.
That quote is from someone who knows the realities of war better than most.
