Just because supposedly a piece of software performing a critical purpose was written in lisp does not mean lisp won the war.
If the software wasn't written in lisp, it would have been written in any other language.
And if the software wasn't written at all there would have been hundreds of people doing the software's work manually instead.
Did the software help? Probably. It's likely there would have been more screw ups if there was no software. But it takes a big leap to credit the software with winning the war.
