Like almost everything else, the Afghan war was probably quite a bit about oil and gas and breaking Russia and Iran's monopolised routes to the west for these resources. So it depends on what's meant by 'lose' when applied to that conflict. Someone is likely to have made lots of money off the backs of dead, western soldiers and countless civilians.
