Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit

The statement says that even superpowers do not win the war all the times. It also points out that; even if or whenever they do win the war they are not always admired or gets accolades.

Hence both options can be right.

Not satisfied with answer because the statement is not showing any relation with both of the statements.

The answer doesn't make sense and the conclusions are not co-related or following the statement.
