The superior force loses by not winning. The inferior force wins by not losing.. The war is over when one side loses the will to fight.
See The Peloponnesian War and Victor Davis Hanson’s A War Like No Other: How the Athenians and Spartans fought the Peloponnesian War (2005, Random).
The first modern forever war, Viet Nam veteran Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War (1974, Ridan) was 3,000 years long, asymmetrical in time, and ended with the end of humanity subsumed into the clone Kahn.
