That's not necessesarily a bad thing. I.E. America technically had a "stronger" army than the Vietcong yet we still got beat (note: generalization).
OT, but:

This might not be a good analogy even as a generalization, as I understand that the U.S. won every major tactical engagement, and that the war was lost on the strategic level, especially once the U.S. pulled out and the South Vietnam army collapsed.

That would be more like winning all your tactical battles vs. the AI, but getting Dominion killed by the computer player.
