I don't know. Maybe you don't value the same acheivements we do.
Taking no crap from enemies, and not backing down when the pressure is on gets a pretty big nod in my book. Solidifying this Countries resolve after being attacked by a faceless enemy was a huge accomplishment in my book also.
And despite the fact that the intelligence was wrong, he removed a tyrrant from power and freed a Country that was being oppressed. That gets a big nod in my book too.
Thanks for making me think about this, because I am tempted to raise my original grade now.
