Perhaps the loss was purely political - but the war was also purely political, as were almost all wars involving either the US or USSR in the post WW2 era. The army to have performed best after WW2 is by a mile Israel. They are a small nation surrounded by enemies and still control probably the best army in the world which has seen nothing but success since its creation.
