Maybe we accomplished something, but we also lost something. There's no way any of us can congratulate ourselves just because of one success.
Look... I'm not asking for military perfection from anyone. I just don't want the same kind of mistakes to happen again. If we keep rushing from crisis to crisis, freaking out every time one of our friends is taken away, then all the Regent has to do is keep hitting us where it hurts in the same ways, over and over. This is a war.
[People die in wars, and prisoners are taken. You have to have a certain level of emotional disconnect to make the kind of rational decisions needed to cope with that, or at least learn to think that way fast, even if you don't come from that kind of background.]
All of us have to seize this conflict with our own hands, if we want to make it through this and win.
I feel that, don't worry
