I prefer the Non-defeatist version:
"Whoever has thought most deeply, loves what is most alive; Who has seen the world as it is, knows virtue. And at last, those who turn wise will often End up in the Beautiful."
“Socrates and Alcibiades” by Friedrich Holderlin (1770 – 1843)

“The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.”
― Genghis Khan

Vishnu's urging's to war weren't about war for war's sake.
They were about duty vs the mere emotion of physical attachment.
