That's true in some cases, in the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Army went against ,the toughest military power in the world at that time, Great Britain. And they won with the help of France and Spain. With that win America rose to triple its land mass, and size. The lands in America have more than paid back the money after the Louisiana Purchase that gave the Americans a gold rush in their future.
America is now strong allies with Britain ,a force that denied us our rights as Americans, and it is because of that war that we became allies with Britain. If it would have never happened Great Britain would've been much larger.
Sometimes war brings profits in different ways than money/gold/ships, sometimes it brings enemies that might ,in the future, turn in into one of your greatest allies.
