Guerilla Attack Launched in the nation

We have received the terrible news that one of our garrisons in the nation were the victims of a calculated and brutal guerilla attack staged by religious fundamentalists based in the area. The losses on both sides were significant, but the insurgents have threatened to repeat the attacks regardless unless we agree to pull our armed forces from the region. It is indeed a sad day when countryman kills countryman over something so trifling as faith, and yet that is the situation we find ourselves in. Our officer corps suggests striking back at the insurgents with the full force of the military to avenge our losses, but some political figures urge that perhaps the safest course of action would be to momentarily pull our forces from the area until the situation calms down. The decision is not one to be made lightly.
