They threatened us not to retaliate and we backed down.

This will go down as a loss in the history books. We should have ended it on our terms. We didn't. Iran's word (to attack our allies in the area if we responded) clearly carried more credibility then Trumps as America acted like Iran should have by backing down (if we had a C-n-C with some credibility). The didn't.

And that is defeat.

So we have to respond with more military strikes because some people might see it as a defeat? That's how you get stuck in quagmires and it's a very bad way to govern.
