When was your last Pyrrhic victory?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrhic_victory

I discovered this by random searching. I thought it was interesting meaning. Never heard it before till today.

I like the of meaning it as not in just terms of war or a battle. It can go beyond that like a metaphor would be if that is correct way to describe it.

Sometimes I feel like in a way I have had this. Also feel like America is doing this often. But that is an off topic ramble.

Have you had one? Or ever had one? If not perhaps an example.
