There is no victory (in the conventional sense) to be had here. Those days are long gone. The best we can do is stop them amassing more weapons, money, supplies etc. Whatever we do we cannot erase their ideology. We're fighting now to achieve the least worst outcome, not a victory.

WWII isn't comparable to this you're right in terms of the ideology behind Nazism this conflict as i said is more comparable to the Vietnam war.
The part above which I've bolded is spot on and excellently put and I think the first thing in a while that we've agreed on !!
The problem is the general British public will not see it this way the politicians will try and sell this as an out and out victory which as you've already said isn't achievable.
