Who Won the War?

I've spent a large part of my life reading about the second world war. Like many boys I was enamored with accounts of the dog fights over London, the Blizkrieg into the Soviet Union, the super nifty black uniforms donned by a genocidal Hun army. The largest conflict in human history and the birth of the atomic age whats not to love? However I think there is a very big and somewhat obvious lie about this war, and that's the lie that America won it. When you look at pictures of postwar Germany and Japan its easy to see why someone might think this, but I'm looking around now and I'm wondering where's America's universal health care system? Where is America's living wage laws? "Where is America's high speed rail systems? Japan and Germany have all of these things and they supposedly lost the war. Well if they lost the war how did they end up with all the good stuff and America ended up with the crumbling infrastructure, broken health care system, 50 million people in poverty, and the seemingly daily episodes of mass violence? Those don't really sound like really worth while spoils to me.
