Don't confuse battles with wars. Note that at some point, the Union went back to the fight.

The Democrats want us to drop our guns and never return. The few scattered comments Democratic leaders have made about "over the horizon" basing and "rapid deployment to trouble spots" have revealed an ignorance of military matters that's astounding. They have no clue on tactics or logistics.

Some people harbor a fantasy that you can fight a war like this without actually engaging an enemy. You can't. Either fight, or quit, but don't pretend there's some "middle ground" where nobody gets hurt.
