Depends on what the 'war goals" were deemed to be. I'm sure these will be politicized back-and-forth by the pundits and party spinners for quite a while.
For the troops, it doesn't matter. They all know what they did, the honor in which they performed their duty, and the satisfaction each and every one either feels or doesn't feel depending on what they did and saw. It's OUR job not to do them a disservice by discounting their service and the honorable way they performed despite the political fingerpointing and party one-upsmanship which occurred and hopefully will not continue.
There never has been a
winner in any war in history. It's always has been a matter of a devil's alternative - who lost the least.
