Well he did get some help. He didn’t have the resources to do it alone in fact.

True enough, but with few exceptions, the spineless appeasers surrounding WC would have rolled over without even asking for said help, or having the will to use it if it was proferred.

Well he did get some help.

Not when it came to leadership he didn't, at the time he was virtually alone there (as shown in the film), which is why his steadfastness is all the more remembered and appreciated.

Leadership makes all the difference.

Look at the War against ISIS - the US has had virtually the same military strength over the last 10 years, but couldn't do anything under Obama, yet under Trump they kicked ISIS out of the ME in less than 1 year .... leadership made the difference.

Obama was afraid to make decisions and take chances, so he restricted his commanders, Trump - by investing total confidence in his - wasn't afraid to lead.
