Erm, I think quite a lot of Wermacht generals were quite adamant about retreating from the Soviet Union in 1942, Herr Hitler decided to carry on regardless, and the rest is erm, history. Not that there is a parallel in terms of the leaders, just that principal, in war its as at least as important to know when to run away as it is to attack, no?
