Sometimes you might want to fight a losing battle as a matter of principle, just to show that there is something to which you can never agree, no matter what personal cost you may pay. During WW II, the Jehovah's Witnesses in Germany refused to be conscripted into the Nazi army, and as a result they were executed. Since they died, you could say that they lost the battle, but they were morally correct in what they did. But such extreme situations are not the usual kinds of choices that we make in our lives. Most of the time it really is better not to fight a losing battle.
