Exactly, we left, we didn't surrender, we won battle after battle until it became politically impossible for us to stay. The politicians over here are why it dragged on so long there and why we didn't have ultimate victory. They didn't win,they didn't drive us out, we left because of politics at home. We gave the country back to them. Had the politicians here butted out we would have crushed them. Instead we took battle after battle and gave the land back right after the battle, you can't win that way. If you take territory you have to keep it, politicians here would not allow that.
